comeback [rebirth]

Cen Yuan remembered that they ran to the edge of the hunting ground that day before stopping, and in the end he won, but Yan Xuan's results were not bad, only hunting one rabbit less than him.

After the prey was taken care of, Cen Yuan was not in a hurry to go back, so he just rode his horse and wandered around the fence surrounding the hunting ground.He looked outside the fence, and said dissatisfiedly: "Except for the four hunts in spring, summer, autumn and winter, my father never allowed me to go to the White Deer Forest alone. But the hunting ground here is too small, and every time I feel that I have not had enough fun, it will end. .”

Yan Xuan also rode a horse beside him, and after hearing the words, he looked towards the vast grassland outside the fence: "The hunting ground is vast, and His Majesty did not let the Second Highness go down because he was afraid that the Second Highness would get lost there."

"It's so easy to get lost." Cen Yuan said, "I have participated in hunting three times, and I have never lost my way."

Yan Xuan thought for a while, then said, "Your Majesty is also worried about His Highness the Second Highness."

"Tch..." Cen Yuan clicked his tongue softly, and muttered to himself, "I hope he doesn't worry about me so much."

Perhaps hearing their conversation, the bush not far away suddenly flapped twice, and then a rabbit jumped out of it.

Now that the game was over, both of them did not take out their bows and arrows by coincidence, and watched the rabbit run away quickly away from them.

Cen Yuan shifted his eyes from the rabbit to Yan Xuan, then looked at himself, and suddenly laughed.

Yan Xuan looked puzzled: "What is the Second Highness laughing at?"

"What are you laughing at?" Cen Yuan smiled deeper, got off his horse, and lay down on the grass in the hunting ground.With one hand behind his head, he pulled a weed with the other hand and held it high in the air.

"Laugh at us black and white evil spirits," he said, "no prey could escape our palms wherever we went just now, and now we are leaving the game, and we are so stupidly watching, let a Only the rabbit escaped easily."

Yan Xuan glanced at the direction where the rabbit disappeared, then turned his head to look at Cen Yuan. He didn't answer for a while, and after a while, he got off the horse, and answered in a strange way: "The Second Highness looks good in blue."

"what?"

Yan Xuan said: "The day I went to the Imperial Academy, His Highness the Second Highness was wearing a blue light robe."

Cen Yuan threw away the weeds, sat up, and looked down at the white clothes he was wearing today again.

He was not picky about his clothes, the daily clothes were prepared by the palace people, and he didn't even remember what he wore on a particular day.

In his impression, he wore more than one green robe. After Yan Xuan said this, he tried his best to recall the day when the other party came to the Imperial Academy, but he still couldn't remember which one he was wearing.

As he thought about it, there was a brief silence between the two of them.

It was only then that Yan Xuan realized that this sentence was a bit out of date. If it was another person, the person who said this sentence would be like an incompetent disciple.

He suddenly felt ashamed, even the tips of his ears turned red, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Why didn't the Second Highness hunt that rabbit?"

"Ah?" Cen Yuan's reaction was still a beat slow, and it took a while to recover: "Oh, why didn't you hunt that rabbit..."

He paused, and pulled out an answer: "It's probably just a moment of soft-heartedness."

Because Yan Xuan didn't dare to look at Cen Yuan, she kept facing him sideways, stroking the horse's back with her hands.Hearing this, his hands froze, and his fingers curled up uncomfortably.

"Is the Second Highness soft-hearted towards others?" He asked.

Cen Yuan was stunned, and thought carefully before saying, "It's not 'all', it depends on who the target is."

Hearing this, Yan Xuan didn't know why, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, lowered his head, and unconsciously grabbed the horse hair with his hands.

After a while, he heard Cen Yuan say again: "But you can't be too soft-hearted towards people."

Yan Xuan reflexively looked up at the other party: "Why?"

Cen Yuan asked back: "What are you going to do in the future? Do you want to go to the battlefield and defend the country like your father?"

Yan Xuan immediately responded, "Yes."

"Little General." Cen Yuan shouted with a smile, "On the battlefield, of course you can't be soft-hearted towards the enemy."

After listening to this explanation, Yan Xuan understood the other party's words just now, and the title made his ears warm even more.

He unconsciously increased the strength of the movements in his hands, causing the horse to scream involuntarily, which surprised Yan Xuan.He hurriedly comforted the horse, and said uncomfortably, "I'm not a general yet."

Cen Yuan still smiled lightly and said: "What's the matter, sooner or later it will be. Besides, the blue is better than the blue, I believe that one day you will become a famous general who makes the foreign bandits famous and fearful. "

At this moment, Yan Xuan's ears were not only hot, but the temperature of his entire face rose in an instant.

Cen Yuan was playing with the weeds by himself, but he didn't notice anything strange about him, so he thought of something: "Oh, yes, I still remember the dinner after the hunting last time, my father chatted with Lieutenant Qi of the Northern Army, I heard a little bit. Listen to what Lieutenant Qi said , the soldiers in their army will more or less carry some items similar to peace talismans, such as jade pendants, cloth bags, etc., will General Yan also carry such items when he goes out?"

Yan Xuan narrowed his eyes, recalled a little and said, "Does the sachet that my mother wore before count?"

"Of course." Cen Yuan said, "I never thought that there would be such a soft thing under General Yan's heavy armor."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Yan Xuan: "Since we're talking about this, why don't I give you one too?"

Yan Xuan was startled: "Sachet?"

"How could I do that thing?" Cen Yuan said, immediately got up, patted the weeds off his body, and got on the horse directly.He reversed the direction of the horse, and galloped away on the way he came and went.

Yan Xuan quickly followed him with his horse and asked, "Then what are you giving?"

Cen Yuan thought about the environment of the hunting ground, and only said: "There is nothing here except bows and arrows. I will write you a note first, and I will change you to a more formal one before you go out for the first time in the future."

After returning to the hunting ground, Yan Xuan didn't even think about what kind of thing this rod would be. Cen Yuan dismounted before the horse came to a complete stop, handed the reins to the servant, and then shouted: "Where is the pen and ink?"

The servant hurriedly took him to the hall for people to rest and grind ink with paper.

Cen Yuan asked: "Is there a small cloth pouch?"

The young man hurriedly said: "Yes." Then he found an unused cloth bag from the wooden cabinet.

"Okay, you go down first." Cen Yuan waved the boy back, carefully tore the paper into a piece of paper the size of a palm, dipped the pen in ink, but did not write for a long time.

Yan Xuan pretended not to care, stood at the side of the wooden table, picked up the empty cloth bag to play with.At this time, I saw Cen Yuan finally finished his thinking, and wrote pen on the paper——

May General Yan, every time he goes out to battle, he will overcome obstacles and return home with honor.For the rest of his life, he will be invincible and invincible.

He finished writing word by word, staring down at his "great work", but there was no expression of satisfaction on his face, nor any intention of giving it to Yan Xuan.After a while, he pushed the piece of paper with words aside, and tore off a blank piece of paper again.

This time, he only wrote four words——

Return safely.

In the 23rd year of Ninghuan, on the first day of July, Xia Miao arrived as scheduled.

Among the four hunting activities every year, autumn hunting is the most prosperous, followed by spring hunting.Although Xia Miao is not the smallest link, compared with the former two, it is still not in the same breath.

As far as this trip is concerned, apart from the necessary imperial physicians and princes, only officials with a rank above a thousand stones can be included in the accompanying trip.In the harem, only Jiang Zhaoyi and Duan Zhaoyi were allowed to travel together.

But even so, a group of chariots and horses were still mighty, and arrived at the palace in Bailu Forest at noon.

According to the plan, after having lunch in the palace and taking a nap, the core hunting competition will begin.Shen time starts and Xu time ends. It takes two hours in total, and the one who hunts the most prey wins.After the game, there will be a banquet, and everyone will stay in the palace that night, and then set off to return to the palace the next day.

Cen Yuan always didn't like to bring too many servants, so he only allowed Lou Yuanbai to go with him alone, but other than that, there would be other maids arranged in the palace to be in charge of food and daily life for these two days.

As soon as he entered the side hall where he lived, the maid greeted him, bowed her head and said, "Second Highness, this servant named Bi Ling will be in charge of the Second Highness's daily life during these two days. No matter what the Second Highness wants, just It’s about calling servants.”

After a tiring journey and having just finished his lunch, Cen Yuan wanted to take a nap, but was about to wave back, but he paused when he heard the name.

"Say, what's your name?"

The maid replied: "Return to Second Highness, the name of this servant is Bi Ling."
