Chapter 255 Garro's Hunting Ground(1/2)
Fortunately, Gao Yang was free now and happily agreed to take her to hunt pheasants.
The two of them wore strong clothes before walking out of the courtyard and just met Li Bing in front of them.
He had previously lurked in Suizhou and was ordered by Yang Jian to travel around and ambush. He was very tired. When Yang Jian left Sui City, his work had almost been arranged. After escorting Xu Ang here, Yang Jian temporarily allowed him to rest for two days, to nourish his energy, and to prepare for a few days of fierce battle.
When Gala saw him, he smiled and called "cousin" and Gao Feng also bowed his fists.
Li Bing followed Yang Xuangan outside the town that night. He came back late last night. He didn't know that Gala was here too. When he saw her, he was particularly surprised. He just couldn't ask in detail because Gao Yang was unable to ask in detail, and said, "What are you going to do with this capable dress?"
"Go to catch a pheasant nearby and make soup to replenish blood."
"Replenish blood?" Li Bing hurriedly looked Galuo all over, "Are you injured?"
"It's Your Highness who was injured, not me." Garo smiled.
Li Bing then said, "Since your highness wants to use it, I will take you there. There is no need to bother Miss Yue, Han Qinhu, and I'm afraid there will be troubles in searching for her. Don't delay the matter."
"This is the best!" Garo was overjoyed, "I'm also afraid that it would delay Sister Yue's affairs. Is there nothing wrong with my cousin today?"
"Your Highness allows me to rest for two days. There should be no orders from others today." Li Bing took the bow and arrow prepared by Gao Feng.
Gala was originally worried about delaying Gao Jin's incident, so he agreed to catch one and return. Since Li Bing had nothing to do, he could catch a few more. He would simmer slowly these days without having to spend time, and he became more happy.
The brother and sister found two horses and rode them into the mountain.
This area is at the foot of the continuous Xiangshan Mountain. The mountains are high and dense, with many wild animals.
Less than half an hour after the two entered the mountain, they had already hunted four or five.
Garoma had prepared net bags on his back and put them in them all. Seeing that it was still early, the brother and sister discussed and simply took a few more and gave them to the brothers who had been tired recently, which was a great morale.
The terrain of this area is quite high and densely packed. Standing on the rocks, you can see the scenery far and near.
Li Bing held the bow in her hand and searched for prey everywhere. Gala's eyes were not as sharp as those they often hunted. After looking at it for a long time, she had no gains, so she simply took a break. She looked at the endless mountains and was puzzled in her heart, saying, "Does your highness stay here to fight Li Bing here?"
Li Bing poked out half of his body from the bushes and looked at her, "What did your Highness tell you?"
"I guess. When you left Sui City, the White Deer Hall where Your Highness lived was very strict. Since it was not the personal guards brought by Your Highness, it must have been Li Bing's arrangement. Your Highness never returned after leaving Sui City. He was almost killed by his previous attack. Naturally, it was Li Bing's work. At this point, both sides had torn their faces, and there would naturally be a duel, and the success and defeat of the king. The Suizhou area is full of Li Bing's hawks and dogs, but when he arrived in this area, his Highness was quite calm. I guess the Zhechong Mansion nearby was already under the control of His Highness. He wanted to fight against Li Bing based on this. I guess right?"
The mountain wind raised her silk, and her beautiful cheeks shrank in the raised fox's hair collar, like calyx in the snow.
Those eyes were cunning and sensible, which was very different from the posture of suppressing tears at the Bailu Pavilion.
It seems she is in a good mood.
Li Bing smiled, "I guessed most of the time, but Your Highness chose this place not only for the troops of Zhechong Mansion, but also for the terrain here." He pointed to the continuous peaks in the north, "Xiangshan stretched for more than a hundred miles, with a complex terrain. There is a small Xiangling walking north, with dangerous peaks on all sides, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is a good place to give it a try."
Gala nodded, his eyes falling into the distance, as if he was worried.
Li Bing looked at her and suddenly said, "After your highness assigned a mission here, he will set off for Xiaoxiangling. Although he occupied the power of the terrain and had many arrangements, the number of people was ultimately a disadvantage, and the situation would be particularly dangerous. When I came, I didn't see the Yi family's caravan, so they must have left?"
"Well, the caravan is probably already gone now."
Li Bing nodded, "So, what about you?" He looked at Gala, "Is it... Your Highness who forced you to come here?"
"I voluntarily, cousin doesn't have to worry." Garo smiled, "I secretly left the East Palace that day. I was afraid that Your Highness would act rampantly and cause trouble. Now it seems that it is my villain's heart. Your Highness treats me as much as a mountain. No matter whether you leave or stay, you have to explain it to him."
"So...you decided to go, or stay?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Garo confessed, guessing that Li Bing was still afraid that she would be wronged and forced, so he said again: "Whether you stay or stay, it will be my willing choice, so I really don't have to worry anymore. Your Highness is in the Eastern Palace. Although he is always cold and harsh, he is good for his subordinates. I can see that he will definitely be able to inherit the throne in the future. My Cousin has talent and revenge. It is rare that Your Highness appreciates and uses it. You should not have any unhappy things with Your Highness."
Of course Li Bing understood what she meant.
He was naughty when he was young, but he returned from the army, but he was also full of ambitions. The loving mother and strict father at home all placed great hopes on him, but Yang Jian did not care about the grudges he had with the Fu family in the past and was willing to give him a heavy responsibility. This appreciation is indeed memorable.
In today's situation, if the king and his ministers work together to get out of the predicament, the credit for this friendship will never be comparable to others.
As long as he fails to make mistakes in the future, he will make a brilliant future as everyone expects.
Although he longs for this, he does not give up anything else for it.
If Gala was really forced by Yang Jian, he would be willing to give up the foreseeable future and help her escape.
In fact, if she really wants to leave, there may not be no way. Besides him who can help her, she can also refuse. As time goes by, Yang Jian's patience is exhausted, and it is impossible for her not to let her go.
However, depending on her meaning, she was willing to come back this time, and she was still hesitating about her future stay. No matter whether she would leave or stay, since she was hesitant, she still had the idea of trying to leave even though she knew that she had chosen a very bumpy road to stay with Yang Jian. She still violated her reason and wanted to try.
This is enough to show your feelings.
Thinking of this, I was still a little lost and envious of Yang Jian.
Although Yang Jian and Gala were separated from their fathers, they had no relationship in the past. Therefore, if Yang Jian liked her, they would express it bluntly and everyone would be happy. If they failed, they would go their separate ways and have no relationship. Although Yang Jian would feel a pity, they would still be as strange as before.
But he is different.
Although they were together for two years when they were young, their cousins had a deep friendship.
If he wants to go further, he needs to bet on the old friendship. Everyone will be happy if they fail. If they lose, even that friendship will be damaged. He dare not use this to bet, especially when Gala only treats him as his brother and is close to trust.
When he was out of sight, he suddenly heard Gala say, "Cousin, hurry up, there!"
Her voice was full of joy, she hid behind the bushes, pointing about ten steps away.
Li Bing quickly came back to his senses, subconsciously bent his bow and arrow, and saw the pheasant following her pointing, and immediately slacked the point and shot it out.
But the arrow was rushing out. Although the arrow stabbed into the pheasant's body, it could not kill him with one arrow. It was dragged to the hill.
Even so, Galo was still happy and happily detoured from the small path to pick up the prey.
Li Bing was still standing there with a bent bow, looking at the open scenery, trying his best to dispel the strange emotions. Seeing that Gala had not come back after a while, he was about to look for it, he suddenly heard a human speech coming from behind the hill, as if he was arguing.
Just now, the pheasant fled with injuries, and Gala was filled with joy.
She knew Li Bing's ability. Needless to say, she was brave in fighting with others in the past. Today she came out to hunt, her eyes were like a falcon, and she took action quickly and accurately. Every arrow shot out was at the critical point. Maybe it was too hasty just now, and it was a little bit skewed, but she would definitely be able to take down the pheasant.
Gala was determined to win, and chased after him along the narrow road in the mountains. Sure enough, he saw that the pheasant was running hard.
She chased her closely, and soon rushed up. Through a bush, the pheasant was already shaking. Just as she was full of joy, a feather arrow suddenly flew out of the thorn, extremely fast, and took the wounded pheasant. She was frightened suddenly, and the mountain road was not easy to walk. She couldn't step on her feet, and her ankle was twisted, and she slipped to the ground, and she couldn't help but scream.
Behind the lush forest opposite, a girl about sixteen suddenly emerged. She was wearing a brown brocade dress and a jade crown, and was heroic. She held a horse whip in her hand, with joy on her face, and strode through the grass, and then she wanted to pick up the pheasant.
Gala was so scared that he fell and sprained his foot. He was not willing to be taken away for nothing. He immediately said, "That's mine!"
"I shot it. Didn't you see it just now?" The girl's voice was clear and she shook the bow in her hand as evidence.
Gala barely stood up and reasoned with her, "It was my cousin who shot it first, so I'll pick it up!"
"That's because his archery skills are too poor and it's useless to shoot. That's why the prey ran under my hands. It's not like me, but I'll kill it with one blow!" The girl in Jinyi looked very contented. She jumped to the pheasant, bent down and reached out, and had already picked up the prey.
It was just a pheasant, but in normal times, Gala gave up. But the girl just made a sudden move, which made her fall and sprained her feet, and she felt so angry that she was angry. She heard her despise her cousin's archery skills and took the prey first. She became angry and said angrily: "Why are you not reasonable!" As she said that, she lame her foot forward, trying to snatch the prey back.
The girl in brocade clothes raised her eyebrows slightly, raised her whip in her hand, whipped it in the shrub next to her, splashing branches and leaves flying around.
She grinned and looked completely provocative, "Want to grab it? Come and try it."
When Li Bing heard the movement, he happened to see this scene. Gala's back was thin. The girl raised her horse whip and looked arrogant, as if she was about to attack Gala. Although he didn't know the details, he was furious in his heart. He shouted angrily, rose up, stepped on the tree trunk to leverage the force, and rushed towards the girl in brocade clothes like a tiger and leopard, with her clothes in the wind.
This move was extraordinary.
The girl in brocade looked shaking, threw away the prey in her hand, waved her whip, swallowed and spitted like a serpent, and rolled towards Li Bing.
Li Bing's hand was empty, but he did not dodge or avoid it. He grabbed the girl's body, stretched out his bare hands, held the whip that was whipped from the side, pulled and pulled with force, and then kicked the girl's wrist.
The girl in Jinyi was pulled hard by him, and almost couldn't hold her palm. Seeing that he was flying, she was fierce and fast, she hurriedly dodged. However, the horse whip was already held by Li Bing hard, as if she was not moving at all. She couldn't take back the horse whip. If she didn't let go, she would definitely not be able to avoid his flying foot. In a hurry, she had to let go of her wrist to dodge. The horse whip flew out of her hand, and was snatched in her hand in the blink of an eye.
The interaction was extremely fast. The girl in Jinyi snatched away the whip by him, and she raised her hand and raised her feet. She was also angry, clenched her fists and waved her arms, and attacked Li Bing again.
Gala could see clearly, and then he realized that the girl was wearing a pair of sheepskin horse boots under her clothes, and the sturdy leather wrapped around her calves. Although she was not as fashionable as Li Bing, she was able to make a move in a straightforward way while stretching her legs and kicking her feet, and she was actually a bit arrogant and heroic.
The two of them fought over there. Since Li Bing had already taken her whip, he had no intention of hurting others and had a proper attitude when he took action.
After seeing his sharp and quick skills just now, Miss Jinyi could see that he showed mercy this time, and was not happy but angry, and scolded in a sarcastic voice: "Everyone can compete with their skills, who wants you to let you do it!" The more ruthless the move, he looked like he would never give up without telling the difference.
This posture made Li Bing smile.
When he was in the capital, he could meet mostly scholarly daughters, or noble daughters from the marquis like cousins. These girls were proud and spoiled since childhood, either weak and graceful, or dignified and steady, and few of them practiced martial arts. Only after joining the army, I met some girls from the generals who had learned their family traditions, were quite heroic, bold and courageous, and were very similar to the girl in front of me.
Since you are intentionally trying to compare your skills, you will look down on others if you deliberately give in.
Li Bing no longer showed mercy, and his fists and feet were wide open and closed. After a few moves, he had already gained the upper hand.
Seeing that the other party had no power to fight back, she was forced to give up. Another gray figure rushed over in the dense forest trees, snatched between the two of them and solved Li Bing's attack. Then, taking advantage of Li Bing's unexpected hesitation, he grabbed the girl's arm and retreated two steps away.
Li Bing stopped the attack, looking surprised, "Brother Meng?"
"Hongjia, long time no see!" The man in gray was twenty-five or six years old, and his pair of bright eyes under his sword eyebrows made the face with ordinary facial features more energetic. He stopped the girl behind him, and when he landed on the ground, he closed his hand and said to Li Bing with a smile: "You haven't fought for two years, and you have improved a lot in your skills."
Li Bing laughed and turned around and said to Gala: "This is General Meng Yu, the son of General Meng, who is a friend but not an enemy."
Gala was attracted by the competition that was close to him, and forgot about his ankle injury. Hearing this, he was about to step forward and then he felt the pain. He couldn't help but take a low breath and bowed as a gift, "Meng Gongzi."
When Li Bing saw it, his face changed slightly. Meng Yu said over there: "Is this girl injured?"
"It's okay if you just sprain your ankle." Galo said with a hurried smile.
After the peace talks, she knew that Meng Xu made the first contribution when Yang Jian was fighting Ying Zuo, guarding Huyang Pass firmly and closely, which was highly appreciated by Yang Jian and his son. Now that Meng Yu has appeared here, she must have come to help Yang Jian. The little anger that was so shocked that she fell and sprained her ankle had already seen Li Bing and that girl compete with each other, and there was no grudge at this time.
Meng Yu was quite apologized, "It must be Xiangjun's reckless behavior and hurt this girl." He pulled the girl in Jinyi behind and said to Li Bing: "This is Xiangjun, a girl from the girl. This time I came out with me to gain some experience. Who knew that my bad temperament would not change, and accidentally hurt people again. Please don't be surprised by the girl."
Although Meng Xiangjun was defeated and fought happily, his face was quite happy.
After hearing Meng Yu's words, she frowned and was dissatisfied with the defense, "It wasn't me who hurt her."
Gala smiled, "It has nothing to do with Miss Meng. It was because I was in a hurry to pick up prey and didn't look at the road under my feet, so I was accidentally injured."
