"Let's rest until we return to the boat." Xiao Luolan said.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them were finally able to go back. Xiao Qingxue saw Sect Leader Zhou escorting her mother to the building boat. She took her bow and arrows and followed Zhou Shenzhi. She quickly caught up with him, followed by Zhou Shiliu. Lang, Tuoba Mu and the tribes of the Zhou family.
"What are you worried about, madam?" Zhou Xu drank some wine at noon and was slightly drunk at the moment. He hugged Mrs. Xiao and kissed the tip of her ear. He was satisfied to see Mrs. Xiao's thin and white ears quickly turn red.
Xiao Luolan trembled slightly.
"Just be careful. Madam Xiao will not be harmed in any way. They are just going to the Lu family's deer park to hunt, not to kill enemies on the battlefield. There are so many people behind them to protect them. Madam, don't worry." Zhou Xu comforted her.
Xiao Luolan knew in her heart that she hummed when she heard Sect Master Zhou's comforting words.
"If I go to the battlefield, will my wife worry about me?" Zhou Xu asked.
Xiao Luolan turned to look at him.
Zhou Xu lowered his head and kissed Mrs. Xiao, then asked the same question again.
Xiao Luolan felt the strong smell of alcohol blowing against her face, her cheeks turned red, and she said softly: "Of course."
Zhou Xu laughed and rubbed Madam Xiao's red lips with his rough thumb, making it redder, like a ripe cherry: "At the end of next month, I will take Tuoba Agu and some Buqu back to Yicheng. .”
Xiao Luolan was startled for a moment. She had always known that there was a war outside, but after being in Youzhou for a long time, she felt that the war was far away from her. Now when she heard what Sect Master Zhou said, she couldn't react. So fast?
"At that time, I will not only hang the old king and his family on the city gate, but I will also kill all the families who colluded with the imperial court to cheat others, and hang their heads on the general's platform."
Xiao Luolan heard Sect Master Zhou talking to himself. His mood was very calm, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing, but once the smile disappeared from his eyes, his resolute and upright face looked inexplicably sinister and indifferent.
Xiao Luolan hesitated for a while and hugged him gently, and then she felt herself sitting on his lap again. The man was holding her waist, and his stubble was scratching her face.
Xiao Luolan ducked back, and Clan Master Zhou held the back of her neck with his big hand to prevent her from moving. Xiao Luolan pursed her lips, knowing that Clan Master Zhou's desire to control was at fault again.
Zhou Xu placed the person firmly on the beauty's couch.
The beautiful woman on the beauty couch was lying on her back, her breathing was disturbed because of nervousness. From Zhou Xu's perspective, her waist was as thin as a willow, and her embroidered skirt was falling.
Zhou Xu watched for a while, the desire for alcohol welled up in his heart mixed with the extreme excitement before the war.
He used to like blood, but now he finds that blood and Mrs. Xiao are better.
When Sect Master Zhou let her go, Xiao Luolan felt that her whole body was covered with red marks. She put her coat on herself, wanting to put it on and take a shower.
Zhou Xu didn't let her move.
Xiao Luolan's face turned red, her hands covered with coats tightened, and she finally said what she had thought about earlier: "Be careful when you go to war."
Zhou Xu gave a muffled laugh, took Mrs. Xiao's hand and kissed it: "I know.".
Xiao Luolan knew nothing about ancient wars, and she felt that she could not help Sect Master Zhou, so she felt a little guilty in her heart: "I will embroider a peace charm for you. Remember to take it with you."
Zhou Xu looked at Mrs. Xiao's spring-like face and said with a smile, "Okay."
When Xiao Luolan saw that he had agreed, she, who was not good at speaking, was speechless. She whispered: "Let's get up."
Zhou Xu took the person into his arms, lay down, and kissed Mrs. Xiao's face: "Let me kiss her for a while longer."
Zhou Xu made all this nonsense, making Mrs. Xiao sweaty and panting.
He stared at Madam Xiao with misty eyes and whispered: "I haven't had sex with Madam yet, but I can't bear to die."
Besides, he has no intention of leaving Mrs. Xiao in Langge. He will take her with him when the time comes, and they will be together no matter where they are.
Mrs. Xiao didn't know that her choices had always been pitiful.
Zhou Xu straightened Mrs. Xiao's messy hair and said warmly.
"I dress my lady."
Chapter 51
"I saw you wearing riding clothes all day long, and I thought you had superb riding skills, but I didn't expect you couldn't even ride a horse." Zhou Yanzhi said with a smile. He didn't expect that Mrs. Xiao couldn't even ride a horse. Like the Zhou family, Erlang almost grew up riding a horse, and everyone can do it. As long as the Lei clan's followers and Tuoba clan members can work as servants by their uncle's side, they are also top-notch in riding skills.
Xiao Qingxue blushed, glared at Zhou Shiliu angrily, and said angrily: "What does it have to do with you that I don't know how to ride a horse? Besides, Sect Leader Zhou has promised to teach me how to ride when I get to Langge."
Hearing his uncle, Zhou Shiliu's smile faded a little, and he coughed lightly: "Do you want me to teach you first?"
"What a beautiful idea you have!" Xiao Qingxue replied unceremoniously: "I won't let you teach me."
The descendants of the Lu family present gathered around the noisy two people, looking at each other in silence.
If there was a conflict between Miss Xiao and Young Master Zhou, they would definitely be helping Young Master Zhou without even thinking about it. Even if they were unreasonable, it was Zhou Shiliu who was in conflict with Miss Xiao now.
The attitudes of Lu Tongyong and Lu Tonli, the nephews of Sect Leader Zhou, became subtle.
Mrs. Xiao is Mrs. Xiao's beloved daughter, and Mrs. Xiao is a member of Sect Master Zhou.
It is not easy for the Lu family to get involved. The people who went out to hunt with his cousin this time were direct descendants of the fifth family of the Lu family. They were twins, two years older than Zhou Shenzhi, and both were extremely brave warriors. Lu Tongyong saw He glanced at Zhou Clan's tribe who pretended not to have heard it, and thought to himself, Zhou Shiliu belongs to the Zhou family, and is the most favored son of Clan Master Zhou's own brother, but Miss Xiao's status is not bad, and the two are competing with each other. , who will Master Jiedushi be partial to?
"You don't know how to ride a horse. How are you going to hunt later? Are you going to shoot an arrow just because the prey is standing still?" Zhou Shiliu said coolly.
Xiao Qingxue raised her chin slightly, and the girl's hair was tied up with a green jade hairpin, revealing a bright and charming face. She asked in reply: "Who said no."
Zhou Shiliu suddenly remembered what happened on the deck of the building, his face darkened, and he turned away angrily and stopped talking to her. Xiao Qingxue laughed out loud when she saw him like this, and she patted the hanging on her waist happily. He was wearing a pink sachet and a small cyan whip. Behind his hands, he looked at the Deer Garden in front of him.
The Lu family's Deer Garden is a hill, with flat woodland on the outside, and rolling hills further in. It is summer, and the vegetation is lush. At a glance, the forest waves are undulating, and the birds are singing endlessly.
She watched for a while, waiting for Zhou Shenzhi to come over.
As soon as they entered Luyuan, Zhou Shenzhi took some members of the Zhou clan to pick out horses. She even forgot to tell him that she couldn't ride a horse yet. She muttered something and was overheard by Zhou Liu, annoying Zhou Liu!
Xiao Qingxue chose a shady tree to stand under. Fang Yun followed her little master and fanned her.
Xiao Qingxue took out the jade trap from the flint bag and put it on herself.
"Miss Xiao." Zhou Shenzhi came over with a mare, and the rest of the group distributed the horses to everyone.
Xiao Qingxue didn't wait for Zhou Shenzhi to say anything else, and said sheepishly: "Mr. Zhou, I don't know how to ride a horse yet."
Zhou Shenzhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's okay, you get on the horse, and I will lead the horse away."
"Come, I'll teach you how to mount a horse."
Xiao Qingxue looked at Zhou Shenzhi and felt that he was much better than Shiliu Lang. He was tall and heroic. When she saw that she couldn't ride a horse, she didn't say anything. Instead, she taught her attentively.
"Thank you, brother." Xiao Qingxue smiled and rolled her eyes.
When Zhou Shenzhi heard Madam Xiao's sweet thank you, the smile on her face deepened: "First stand on the left side, step into the pedal with your left foot, then hold the saddle ring, which is the front bridge part of the saddle, as hard as you can. Don’t touch the horse’s hindquarters.”
"Leverage your body to take off, and finally cross your right leg. Be sure to hold the front bridge of the saddle tightly during the process."
Xiao Qingxue looked at the little mare, unskilledly stepped on the stirrups according to the steps explained by Zhou Shenzhi, and then slowly got on the horse. Sitting on the horse, she felt that her field of vision suddenly broadened.
But she also knew that she was weighing a lot, and she held the front bridge of the saddle tightly with both hands.
Zhou Shenzhi held the reins of the horse, and his entourage brought another horse. He got on the horse, took Madam Xiao's reins in one hand, and his own in the other, gently pinched the horse's belly, and the horse started walking on its own.
"Don't be nervous, Miss Xiao." Zhou Shenzhi said: "We will walk slowly. When you get used to sitting, I will teach you how to hold the reins."
The two were riding horses in front, and their entourages were also scattered on the left and right. Looking at his cousin's smiling face, Zhou Shiliang directly reined in his horse and went to another venue.
After he left, Tuoba Mu looked directly at Mrs. Xiao in front of him. He thought for a while and then rode into the forest on the opposite route to Saturday's.
In the Luyuan, Xiao Qingxue rode for a while and tried to tighten the reins. She felt that the mare was not obeying orders, so Zhou Shenzhi smiled and encouraged her.
"Mr. Zhou, you go hunting." Xiao Qingxue was too embarrassed to trouble Zhou Shenzhi anymore. It was an unexpected blessing for her to learn to ride a horse.
Zhou Shenzhi said: "Don't worry, after you learn it, we will fight together."
Lu Tongyong smiled and said: "My cousin is saying, are we, a bunch of young men, going to leave Miss Xiao alone? It is not a gentleman to do this."
Lu Tongli also said: "Ms. Xiao, cousin, he has sent cavalry in advance to choose the southwest direction. We just need to gradually surround them later."
"There are no dangerous prey in the southwest of Luyuan. Miss Xiao can play as much as she likes."
Xiao Qingxue listened to them and smiled and thanked them.
After about half an hour, Xiao Qingxue finally made the horse obedient. Of course, it was only limited to horses with a docile personality.
"Let's go hunting." Xiao Qingxue said happily.
Zhou Shenzhi had already learned from Lu Tongyong about the conflict between Shiliu Lang and Mrs. Xiao. He had already ordered several cavalrymen to drive some dizzy hares to Mrs. Xiao's side.
You might as well hit one.
It was in the evening, the sunset was like a fire, the summer heat was receding, and the breeze in the forest was cool. Xiao Qingxue was holding a bow and arrow, looking for prey seriously.
Zhou Shenzhi beside her had already shot several hares, pheasants and a spotted wild deer, and Lu Jiaerlang also shot some prey.
Zhou Shenzhi guessed that Mrs. Xiao had just started using bows and arrows and was not accurate enough at shooting live animals. In fact, she was able to shoot several times, but it would be good to practice more.
Suddenly there was a messy rustling sound in the forest. Xiao Qingxue cheered up and looked deep into the forest. She saw a little deer running in a panic in the bushes not far away. Its body was hidden by the bushes. Most of the time, I saw people jumping around and wanting to leave.
Xiao Qingxue tightened her grip on the bow and arrow in her hand, her breathing stagnant. She calmed down, narrowed her eyes, and aimed at the deer.
None of the two brothers, Qi Cong and Lu, moved around.
Xiao Qingxue's palms were sweating, and the deer's figure was getting further and further away. She finally let go of the arrow, and her heart was beating loudly.
Zhou Shenzhi waved his entourage to catch the injured deer, and then dismounted. He first glanced at the steel arrow inserted near the deer's neck, and it was slightly missed.
Xiao Qingxue dismounted unskillfully, looked at her prey, her face flushed with excitement: "I really hit it!
When Miss Xiao was riding on horseback and preparing to hunt again, he squatted down and touched the deer's right leg bone, and sure enough, it was broken. The man's bone fracture skills were very good. From the outside, he couldn't notice anything at all. Miss Xiao was so cool. He's not tall enough, and the deer is in the bushes, so it's normal that he can't be noticed.
Lu Tongyong and Lu Tonli also noticed something and looked at Young Master Zhou.
Zhou Shenzhi stood up and said, "Let's go."
When returning, Zhou Shenzhi took a look around the crowd. Except for a few cavalrymen he had ordered, the rest of the entourage should not be able to do that. Zhou Shiliu sat on the horse, holding the back of his head with both hands, shaking his body and Madam Xiao spoke, which made Madam Xiao not have a good look towards him, but she still leaned towards him. The two of them were fighting each other, while Tuoba Mu, who was behind Shiliu Lang, lowered his head, following Zhou Shi like a silent guard. Six around.
Zhou Shenzhi glanced at Shiliu Lang and Tuoba Mu twice, and then led a group of people back.
On the boat.
"Okay!" Zhou Xu, sitting at the head of the hall, smiled and said, "Miss Xiao got a deer on her first hunting trip, which is very good."
Xiao Qingxue blushed at the praise: "Mr. Zhou has more prey."
The center of the hall is filled with prey.
"You two are both fine." Zhou Xu saw that Shenzhi and Qingxue were getting along well, so he said, "Let's eat roasted venison tonight."
After Xiao Qingxue met Sect Master Zhou, she went back to her room, took a shower and changed her clothes before going to find her mother-in-law.
