When they arrived at the stream, Ni Huang and Xiao Yue dismounted. Xiao Yue tied the two horses to a small tree.
"The two of them are going..."
Before Ni Huang could finish her sentence, she saw Mu Qing riding his horse towards them. Behind him, Xiao Chu was chasing after him with his bow and arrow nocked. Although Xiao Chu was just putting on a show and had no intention of shooting, Mu Qing was so frightened that he did not even dare to look back. He kept spurring his horse forward and explained as he ran.
"Brother Xiao, I was just joking. You better hold your bow firmly. If you really hit my sister, even His Majesty won't forgive you.”
"Humph." Xiao Chu, who had committed the crime of treason and was still unafraid, said fiercely,""Are you kidding me? I was just joking! You will look at me? Come, come, black-haired little thief, don't run. Eat my arrow! I'll let you know that a refined person is not to be trifled with.”
Turn back? Would Mu Qing dare to turn around? He lowered his head and ran forward. Suddenly, he saw Ni Huang, who was in a stunned state, and was overjoyed. "Sister, save me! Sister, save me!" He rode his horse to Ni Huang's side and swiftly dismounted. He placed the reins in Xiao Yue's hands and hid behind Ni Huang.
Mu Qing had just dodged when Xiao Chu arrived. He dismounted from his horse and handed the reins to Xiao Yue. He held his bow in one hand and an arrow in the other as he tried to circle around Ni Huang. However, he did not expect Mu Qing to follow Xiao Chu.
"Come out! You're already a prince, yet you're still hiding behind your sister. Are you still a man?”
"I'm not going out. You've already said that I'm a prince now, and you still dare to chase me with a bow and arrow!”
"You're still being reasonable?" Xiao Chu was furious. Seeing that he could not catch Mu Qing, he grabbed Ni Huang's arm and moved her to the side. Ni Huang only smiled and did not express anything.
Mu Qing saw Xiao Chu turning around fiercely and did not think much about it before turning around in the opposite direction. In the end, he did not see Ni Huang leaning against a tree. With a clang, she crashed into the tree.
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Aren't you hungry, Little Chu?" Ni Huang helped Mu Qing up to smooth things over.
Xiao Chu snorted and walked with Xiao Yue to a gazebo by the stream. Mu Qing came up to them with a smile. Xiao Chu looked at Mu Qing's smiling face and thought maliciously,""This guy is a joke! If not for Lord Yun Nan's heir and the heir to the throne, he would have been beaten to death long ago!”
Together with Mu Qing, they took out the grill that Xiao Chu had specially made in the blacksmith shop and set it up. Ni Huang and Xiao Yue then took out the lamb leg. The four of them gathered some firewood that could be burned. Xiao Chu took out two pieces of flint from his sleeve and lit a fire. He placed the leg of lamb on the grill and roasted it.
Xiao Yue was grilling a lamb leg outside the pavilion with a grilling fork in her hand. Xiao Chu and the other two were sitting on a soft cushion around an old four-cornered table in the pavilion. Mu Qing took out a large water bag commonly used in the army and poured some into Xiao Chu, Ni Huang and his own cups.
Xiao Chu could smell the strong smell of alcohol. "Is it wine?"
"How can Tian Xi not have wine?" "This is the wine that I've carefully collected. How is it? It smells good, right?" Mu Qing said with a smile.”
"Yes, it does smell good."
After the three of them drank a cup of wine, Xiao Chu suddenly thought of something and asked,""By the way, did you bring back the set of ironware I asked you to forge for me in Yunnan last year?”
Mu Qing thought for a moment and nodded as if she had remembered everything about Xiao Chu. "I got it back. It arrived two days ago. I forgot about it if you didn't mention it. It's in the storeroom. You can go to my house to get it when we go to the city later. Oh, right, what's that big guy for? Why is that shape so strange?"
Ni Huang was also quite curious. She had seen that thing before, but she did not know how to use it.
"That thing... How about this, it's my birthday in half a month. I'll hold a banquet for my friends in the back hall of the medical hall. You'll know the use of that thing then. Now, I still want to keep you in suspense.”Xiao Chu said with a smile.
"The lamb leg is ready." Xiao Yue walked into the gazebo with a plump and delicious roasted lamb leg that was emitting a sizzling aroma. She placed the lamb leg into a lacquer wood box on the corner table and sat in the empty seat. She picked up a sharp knife and soon, the meat on the lamb leg was cut into pieces and piled on a wooden tray. "Please enjoy."
"Aiya, Xiaoyue's cooking is really good. Let me try it first.”Mu Qing picked up the bamboo skewer and picked up pieces of lamb leg meat that were just the right size, width, thickness, and fatness to put into his mouth. "It's really too delicious. Xiao Yue, why don't you come to my Mu Estate?。。”
"You will die." Xiao Chu said sinisterly.
Ni Huang kept smiling as she watched the two of them play. However, her mouth did not stop moving. She kept sending pieces of roasted lamb leg into her mouth, causing her lips to be stained with oil. Xiao Yue did not say anything at the side. Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled.
After three rounds of wine, he had eaten two or three lamb legs.
Xiao Chu took the handkerchief that Xiao Yue handed over and wiped her mouth. "Sister Ni Huang, what happened after the theory examination?"”
"After the theory examination?" Ni Huang thought for a moment and said with a smile,"Hehe, I defeated everyone except Sima Lei and Ouyang Xun. Later on, Ouyang Xun came to the prince's mansion to challenge me.”
"Oh, what was the result?"
"Ouyang Xun's martial arts are indeed very high. I fought with him for more than a hundred rounds and still lost in the end.”"Even though he's not on the Lang Ya Experts List, he's stronger than the martial arts masters on the Lang Ya Experts List!" Ni Huang praised.”
"Your Majesty must be very unhappy, right?”Xiao Chu laughed.
Ni Huang nodded with a smile." I was indeed unhappy. However, His Majesty did not have any reason to flare up. I only wrote a letter of apology. It can be considered as an apology."”
"Speaking of this, it's really strange. I've already inherited the title of prince, and my sister doesn't have anyone to choose from. Logically speaking, His Majesty should have let my sister and I return to Yunnan a long time ago, but it's been more than ten days.”Mu Qing was puzzled. He had thought about this question before.
"How could His Majesty let you go back? You've already inherited the title of prince. It's not the time when your title was not justified. His Majesty is already worried about the 100,000 soldiers in the Southern Region. If you and Sister Nihuang go back, I'm afraid that His Majesty won't even be able to sleep well at night.”Xiao Chu said. "If you let yourself go back, although you are still young and have already become Lord Yun Nan, it is still unknown whether you can lead the troops of the Southern Region to fight against South Chu. If Sister Ni Huang returned to Yunnan…It was still the same sentence. You're already a prince now. Do you think it's nice to let a princess return to her fief and lead troops?”
"I see." Mu Qing nodded in realization.”
"You should learn from Xiao Chu. If you have half of Xiao Chu's wisdom, I won't have to worry.”Ni Huang reprimanded with a smile.
"Don't learn from me. Actually, Sister Ni Huang has already seen through it, but she just didn't say it.”"Can't you see that your sister isn't anxious at all?" Xiao Chu asked Mu Qing. If there's no news from the Southern Region or Southern Chu within a short period of time, you and Sister Nihuang won't be able to return to Yunnan. Perhaps His Majesty will only allow you to return after the New Year. Prepare to spend the New Year in Jinling."
"Actually, Jinling isn't bad either. Under the natural disaster, regardless of the degree of prosperity, the population density is much better than Yunnan.”Mu Qing drank a few more cups and said,"A few days ago, Yujin brought me to Hong Xiu on Luoshi Street.。。Um…"
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the black lines on Ni Huang's smooth forehead.
"House of Red Sleeves? Is that a brothel?" Although Ni Huang's tone was normal, Mu Qing, who had been brought up by Ni Huang, could hear the murderous intent in her words.
"Uh, sister, it's Yan Yujin. He forced me to go.”Seeing that the situation was not right, Mu Qing immediately betrayed his good friend.
"Yan Yujin?"
"Sister Ni Huang, Mu Qing, what are you guys doing? Oh, Mr. Xiao is here too?"
The voice sounded familiar. Xiao Chu turned around and saw that it was Yan Yujin and Xiao Jingrui.
"Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road.”Xiao Chu looked at Ni Huang's expression. He felt that Yan Yujin would be in trouble.。。
