After wearing a sick and weak cannon fodder as a prince

Yan State, like Chu State, also has the custom of winter hunting.Moreover, the royal family of Yan attaches great importance to winter hunting.After all, some people can't perform well in front of the emperor in this life, but this time they can show their skills in winter hunting, and they may have a chance to be promoted.

This is indeed the case for some noble children, such as the Xiao family of the Yan Kingdom... the current King Yan has already intentionally dealt with them, so in recent years he has rarely used the children of the family as officials.

But King Yan also likes hunting very much. Every winter hunting, he will reward the person who hunts the most.Of course this year is no exception.

The place where King Yan led his ministers and the royal family to hunt in winter is called Langgu Pass.There are the most wolves here, and they are particularly ferocious. King Yan likes to hunt ferocious things, so he spends his time here every year.And Langgu Pass got its name from this.But...the wolves here live in packs, and the sergeants guarding the camp must be able to work hard, otherwise they will be picked up and eaten by the wolves like those useless people guarding the tents in previous years.

After all... the wolves here are really cannibals, especially in this cold weather, because they can't find their prey, so they often hurt and eat people.

In fact, Qin Jue, who is the hostage of the state of Chu, is not qualified to go with the royal army, but this time Xiao Mingze followed.Xiao Mingze didn't know when he became acquainted with Qin Jue, anyway, he would always take Qin Jue with him when he traveled far.When others asked about it, he just looked at Qin Jue's cleverness and wanted him to keep him by his side as a reading companion for the time being.

And in the palace, the companions are usually the princess of the palace, and he, a child of a foreign minister, is trespassing by doing so.However, when he was doing this, some people read his book, but his uncle Xiao Lie stopped them in the end.

But in the eyes of King Yan, this matter is nothing more than a painless matter between some children.Anyway, their Xiao family did not overstep once or twice, so King Yan didn't take this matter seriously.

But...he was more concerned about Xiao Lie.After Xiao Mingze's father died, all the power of the Xiao family was in his hands, and Xiao Lie had no heirs. He is protecting Xiao Mingze now because he wants him to inherit his title and strengthen the power of the Xiao family, right?

Although the King of Yan is unwilling to spend all his time thinking about this every day, as an emperor, he is surrounded by many people who seem to be loyal on the surface, but actually have evil plans behind their backs.So he had to guard against the Xiao family.

And those courtiers who impeached Xiao Lie and other members of the Xiao clan were either dealt with by members of the Xiao family, or given death or relegation by King Yan.

King Yan knew very well that if he wanted to get rid of this confidant's serious trouble, he had to let them relax their vigilance first.Perhaps the Xiao family has not noticed this, but Qin Jue, who has been in the palace for a long time and has good ears and eyes, can see this matter clearly.

King Yan is about to start a move. If the Xiao family doesn't make any definite actions, I'm afraid they will suffer disaster for the whole family.One month before the winter hunting, Qin Jue received a family letter from his family, the Xiang clan, which stated that he was the last hope of the Xiang clan. Many, no real power, so only fame but no real power.

Therefore, Qin Jue was not welcomed by the King of Chu after his mother died, and was sent to the country of Yan as a hostage by him.And Qin Jue received a letter from his family a month ago saying that he was the only hope of the Xiang family, so no matter what the Xiang family thought of, they would take him back to the state of Chu again, and next year at the latest. Apply pressure.

Although the Xiang family has declined, the foundation is still there. As long as they insist on this matter, Qin Jue will definitely return to Chu State again.

Qin Jue was happy for a few days after receiving the family letter, but he burned the family letter after he read it.No matter where it is, as long as it has something to do with the word "Quan", it cannot escape the eyes of those evil wolves.

Xiao Mingze saw him being silly and happy in those few days, and thought that he had a good appetite, so he intentionally gave him a few extra dishes of his favorite dishes and desserts on weekdays.

Of course, there are also Qin Jue's favorite oranges.

Xiao Mingze said that his uncle found a hot spring vein in the northern border of Yan Kingdom, and the oranges that grew beside it were sweet.It's just that the northern border is too far away from the palace, and the oranges were almost spoiled when they arrived.And Xiao Mingze always picked up a few whole ones from the pile of bad ones and gave them to Qin Jue.

Xiao Mingze was already 15 years old, he had to be dragged to test his drinking capacity that day, unexpectedly he drank a lot for the first time, and even came to Qin Jue drunk.

When Qin Jue thought of this, he couldn't help laughing secretly.Because the drunk Qin Jue hugged and kissed him that day, and said that when he became the emperor, he would build the largest warm pool for him in the palace of the Yan Kingdom, and then plant oranges next to it, just for him ...

Qin Jue was very glad that Xiao Mingze came to him first when he was drunk that day, otherwise, if others listened to his words, he would lose his head.

Qin Jue has never been very clear about the relationship between men and women, let alone the relationship between men and women.But as the saying goes, if you speak the truth after drinking, if Xiao Mingze hadn't thought about it at all, I'm afraid he wouldn't have said those words to him when he was unconscious.But... On the second day after Xiao Mingze sobered up, he had completely forgotten about the night before.

Qin Jue can forget it if he wants to. It doesn't have to be telling the truth after drinking, but it can also be talking nonsense after drinking.

After all, Xiao Mingze loves to joke the most...

***

Yan Wang Donghun's camp has already been set up, and Xiao Mingze's tent is not far away, and his tent is next to several princes.Of course, among them were Murong Yun and Murong Jin whom he hated the most.

Both Murong Yun and Murong Jin are reckless. They don't work very hard on learning, but they are very warlike. They are also very good at horseback riding and archery.Because the father of the two of them is martial arts, their mother also wants her son to do what he likes and dislikes.

As for the things about learning, although the two of them dress elegantly on the surface, when others ask them about their homework, they can be said to be ignorant.The two brothers can only show off in front of their father when they are hunting.

Qin Jue and Xiao Mingze lived in the same tent, because it was cold outside, Qin Jue couldn't help but sneezed when he got off the carriage.This scene was noticed by Xiao Mingze.So as soon as Qin Jue entered the tent, Xiao Mingze immediately asked someone to light a charcoal basin, and then took Qin Jue's hand and put it in his arms to warm him up.

"You said you, after eating so much, why didn't you gain weight but lost weight? Could it be that you didn't eat well the things I gave you?"

Facing Xiao Mingze's accusation, Qin Jue smiled slightly, and suddenly he said in a strange way: "Do you think I'm a pig when you give away so much? Even if you can't eat that much in a day, if I throw it away, you will say that I wasted your money." Mind, if I give the rest to others to eat, I will feel wrong again."

Xiao Mingze didn't expect this little person to grow bigger and more articulate.In the past, he was the only one who teased Qin Jue, but now it's the other way around. Every time Qin Jue said it made sense, Xiao Mingze couldn't blame him.

Every time he gets angry, he wants to plug that person's lips, but he always thinks what should he do if he is regarded as a "beast" by others?After all, he also said last time that Qin Jue is too short...

Anyway, there is still time, no rush.

After Xiao Mingze heard what Qin Jue said, he asked again: "So, did you eat it or didn't you eat it?"

Qin Jue smiled slightly: "Well, I ate everything, but I still haven't finished it. I think it's a waste of your heart and it's not appropriate for others to eat, so I asked someone to send the rest to your house , As for the rest, you can ask your servants who feed the pigs."

Xiao Mingze: "..."

Hearing this, Xiao Mingze suddenly grasped Qin Jue's hand in his arms tightly, and the circle around his wrist was reddened by Xiao Mingze: "So, what are you telling me on purpose?"

"You give me what a pig should eat. You can't let others think that we have a good relationship, or people who hate your family will also stare at me." Qin Jue laughed softly again.

Xiao Mingze was stunned for a moment when he heard what he said, and then he gently sent Qin Jue's wrist away. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said: "Well... I will give it to you next time, can you eat it? I'll help you down when it's over."

When Qin Jue heard Xiao Mingze say this, he suddenly froze for a moment... Then he smiled softly: "I am so lucky to have Master Hou do these things for me."

Xiao Mingze heard him address himself like this, so he looked at him: "How many times have I told you, when it's just the two of us, you have to call me by my name."

After Qin Jue heard it, he glanced outside the tent, and said softly, "But there are people outside..."

Xiao Mingze saw his embarrassed look, as if he suddenly discovered something interesting, he approached Qin Jue excitedly: "Then you whisper, no one will hear you."

Hearing this, Qin Jue was stunned for a moment, then he nodded his head, took his hand out of Xiao Mingze's clothes, and whispered in his ear, "Xiao Mingze."

When Xiao Mingze heard this, his face still seemed not very good. He pulled Qin Jue into his arms at once: "I called you wrong, I'll give you another chance."

Qin Jue didn't know what happened to him, maybe the charcoal fire in the camp was too hot, and his face was very hot... At this moment, he leaned into Xiao Mingze's ear and whispered: "Xiao Ziyu..."

Xiao Mingze seemed not satisfied when he heard him calling like that, but his face was close to Qin Jue: "I'll give you one last chance, if you call me wrong again, I'll kiss you."
