Chapter 559 Autumn Hunting (2)

Not long after the two chatted, there was a knock on the door. Before they could be called in, Yan Junyu pushed aside the half-hidden doors and rushed in. He stuffed the baggage he was carrying directly into Xiao Ruiyuan's arms, envious. He said jealously: "Someone asked me to bring it to you, huh, there will be no next time!"

Not long after Yan Junyu arrived at Liuyang Village, Xiao Ruiyuan received the news. Listening to his sour tone, he knew the origin of the baggage, and a rare smile appeared on his stern face.

"Tsk, tsk, look at this idiot's stupid look. He's so blind that he's worthless!" Yan Junyu leaned on the back of the chair, lazily shaking the jade bone fan, his brows filled with disdain, but the gap between his brows The depression revealed revealed his true inner thoughts.

Xiao Ruiyuan glanced at Yan Junyu lightly and focused all his attention on the package. When he opened the package and saw the ginseng as thick as a child's arm, the smile on his lips froze. He subconsciously glanced at Chu Heng and saw his cousin urging him with a smile. He suppressed the dull pain in his heart and picked up the package. A medicine bottle containing special effect Panax notoginseng powder.

Opening the medicine bottle and smelling the familiar smell inside, Xiao Ruiyuan raised his eyebrows. His intuition told him that this was no ordinary Panax notoginseng powder. But now no one was injured and bleeding, so he couldn't deliberately stab himself to test the effect of the medicine. He put the cork on the bottle and put it away, looking at the bulging water bag.

Xiao Ruiyuan could guess what kind of water was in the water bag. He couldn't help but be moved by Mo Yan's thoughtfulness. The long-suppressed longing in his heart deepened a lot. He just wanted to rush to Liuyang Village immediately to see it with his own eyes. It would be nice to meet her and hug her.

It is inevitable that someone with ill intentions would notice it, as the two of them had not seen each other for more than three months. Even if there are secret guards sending messages back and forth from time to time, it is still not as good as seeing it in person.

No matter how intense the longing was, for the safety of his beloved, Xiao Ruiyuan could only suppress the impulse and continue to endure it. Really thinking too hard, he jumped up to the roof and looked far away in the direction of Liuyang Village, wondering what his beloved was doing and whether he was also thinking about him. Several times, a long night was spent on the roof like this.

Seeing Xiao Ruiyuan staring at the water bag in a daze, with his thoughts wandering to nowhere, Yan Junyu became increasingly unhappy. He rushed over and tied the bag tightly, and said provocatively: "In every hunting competition in the past, I was the last I always lose to you, this time, if I win, how about you promise me something?"

Xiao Ruiyuan looked at Yan Junyu with a smirk on his face, and uttered three words coldly: "No!" As if he was worried that someone was messing with him, he thought for a moment, and gave a rare explanation: "This time, cousin Qiu Lie will also come to the meeting. Go, I want to protect you and wont participate in the hunting competition!

"What? What did you say? My cousin also wants to participate?" Yan Junyu was so shocked that he forgot about the competition and immediately stared at Le Chuheng.

Yan Junyu rarely went to court in the morning, and he had not been to Jingshan Courtyard for quite some time. Chu Hengs decision to go to the paddock was suddenly decided, so he did not have time to know that Chu Heng would participate in the autumn hunting.

"Huaixi, don't be surprised. My cousin is just going to have a look. Nothing will happen!" Chu Heng said with a smile. He also didn't want this relationship to be worried even though they were separated by a generation, but he also cherished his cousin and didn't want him to get involved. When He came in, he concealed his plan: "My cousin doesn't have much time left. In the remaining days, I hope to experience things that I have never experienced before, and my cousin's visit to this world is not in vain!"

Hearing this, Yan Junyu felt a sense of sadness in his heart: "Cousin..."

His nature is wild and freedom-loving, and he can feel the pain of being imprisoned. Although my cousin could walk around in his early years, he was imprisoned in the cold palace because of his weak body and his life was in danger at any time. When my cousin got married and moved into the Prince's Mansion, his legs no longer had the strength to stand and he could only sit down. In a wheelchair, I waited for that slim hope day by day, and now I am completely in despair.

Even though he had expected that such a day would come, Yan Junyu felt depressed and uncomfortable thinking that this day would actually come. He clenched his fists tightly, and the deep feeling of powerlessness almost defeated him.

The three of them looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere in the study became calm. Not long after, Xiao Ruiyuan and Yan Junyu came out of the study together. Without each other knowing, they secretly issued a series of secret instructions to their respective people...

August 16th, the wind was clear and there was no cloud in the sky. It was a good day for traveling.

Since the time of Emperor Taizu of the Great Chu Dynasty, autumn hunting has become a common practice, but it has changed from once a year to once every three years now. In the first autumn hunting, only the emperor led the entire royal family, noble families and a few trusted ministers to the royal paddock for hunting.

This practice soon spread to the people. At first, many wealthy families imitated the royal family. Every Hungry Ghost Festival, they would invite relatives and friends to go to the nearby mountains to ride horses and hunt, both for fun and to show off their skills.

Later, even ordinary people began to follow suit. If there were no mountains or wild animals nearby, they would take fishing rods to ponds or lakes to fish. Autumn is the time when fish and shrimp are plump. Even if you stay for a day and only catch one fat fish, it is extremely interesting.

Therefore, the three-year autumn hunting is regarded as a grand event in Chu.

Needless to say, the royal family traveled in a grand manner. Countless canopy chariots stretched for more than ten miles, followed closely by the chariots of the capital's wealthy families and important ministers. These people can not only accompany the saint on the autumn hunt, but also bring their families. As a result, the entire autumn hunt team becomes larger and larger, and there is a long queue.

The clatter of horse hooves rose with the wind, breaking the tranquility of the autumn wilderness. On both sides of the road, majestic forest guards armed with spears were vigilantly paying attention to the movements around, lest anyone with ulterior motives collide with the holy driver. .

The Royal Paddock is located in Fenghuang Mountain, a hundred miles away from the capital, and it takes four to five hours to get there. Each carriage is equipped with sufficient water and food. There is no need to stop and rest on the way. However, if people have three urgent needs, they usually stop every hour for convenience and take a break.

This time there was another prince who was noble but frail and sick. Emperor Hui'an not only personally issued an order to extend the rest time, but even sent a trusted **** to ask whether the prince could adapt to it and whether there was anything wrong with it. This move could not help but make other people happy. The prince and prince were jealous.
