The next day, Mo Rongzhan took Ye Zhen into the mountains again. This time, everyone was going deep into the mountains. They may not return to their tents for three days, so this time they brought more things. Some of them even prepared to spend the night in the mountains.
"Where is your female vice-general? Why didn't I see her today?" Hou Peidong whispered to Ye Chunnan.
When it came to Jin Shanshan, Ye Chunnan remembered the scene when he visited her this morning.
Yesterday, he knew that she was injured, so he wanted her to have a good rest in the camp today. As a result, she did not appreciate it at all and misunderstood that he just wanted her to protect the Empress. She did not find out that he cared about her at all.
What a slow and stubborn woman.
"She is with the Empress." Ye Chunnan said with a sullen face. If he didn't know that his sister's medical skills were excellent and that she would not let anything happen to Jin Shanshan, he would have taken her back to recuperate.
When it came to the Empress, Hou Peidong's face was a little strange. "Last night, the Empress intended to help us. Didn't you say that the Empress is your lost sister since childhood? How did she know that I could beat Geng Tuo?"
Ye Chunnan remembered that no one knew that his sister was Ye Zhen. He explained, "I mentioned it to her before. It's not surprising that she knows that you are good at archery."
Hou Peidong thought about it and felt that it made sense. "The Empress and Ye Zhen's temperament is very similar."
"They are twin sisters. It's not strange for them to be similar." Ye Chunnan said lightly.
"Hey, that's right. Did you see Geng Tuo's face yesterday? It was almost green." Hou Peidong laughed.
Ye Chunnan remembered that the people in the Xishan Camp who didn't like him suffered yesterday and was in a good mood. "Don't take it lightly. You won against Geng Tuo last night. If you lose to him next, it will be us who will lose face."
Hou Peidong said, "I can't say anything else, but I'm not afraid of archery. Nan, let me join the Light Cavalry Camp."
"You are the heir of the Marquis's mansion. Joining the Light Cavalry Camp is not up to me. Go and ask the Emperor yourself." Ye Chunnan said. He naturally hoped that Hou Peidong could be with him and fight side by side in the future.
"Then it's settled. When I return to the capital, I will ask the Emperor for an edict." Hou Peidong said with a smile.
After the group entered the mountain, they separated into several paths. Ye Chunnan looked at her sister in front of her and found that in addition to Mo Rongzhan and Tang Zhen beside her sister, it seemed that even if they encountered lions and tigers today, there would be no danger. Mo Rongzhan would not let her sister get hurt.
"Let's enter the mountain from this side." Ye Chunnan pointed to another road and said.
Hou Peidong had always listened to Ye Chunnan's ideas, so he naturally had no objections.
Mo Rongzhan and Ye Zhen followed the straight road all the way to the mountains. Except for Tang Zhen, the others had already gone to other paths. There were several hills here. If they all went to the same mountain, the prey would definitely be divided. It would not be easy to win the first place this time.
"Are we going into the mountains?" Ye Zhen whispered to Mo Rongzhan.
"Yes, we have already sent people to the mountain to take a look." Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen had a foreboding feeling in her heart. She had a divination this morning and the result was not good. She was afraid that there would be danger in entering the mountain this time. She told Mo Rongzhan about it, but he thought she was overthinking it.
"Your Majesty!" Ye Zhen called him in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan smiled warmly at her. "You said that the result of the divination was that I was in danger, not that you were in danger. That is enough. I have lived in danger every day of my life. I will not retreat because of unknown danger."
Ye Zhen knew that she could not persuade Mo Rongzhan to avoid danger. He would only choose to face the danger and then overcome it.
Tang Zhen followed behind them on his horse. Watching the emperor and empress whispering to each other, a complex feeling welled up in his heart. He fell in love with Yao Yao at first sight. At that time, when the Lu family showed their intention to marry Yao Yao to him, he was ecstatic. He was so happy that he didn't know what words to describe his mood.
However, the emperor also liked Yao Yao.
When Yao Yao was attacked by a tiger, he saw the emperor rush to save her regardless of his own safety. He knew that he could never marry Yao Yao in this life.
In fact, this was also good. Wasn't she living a good life? She became the Empress of the world. The emperor had a special fondness for her. Even if the Empress Dowager's temperament changed greatly and didn't like her, she still had the emperor's favor.
Tang Zhen suppressed his bitter mood and thought that he just had to guard her silently.
Unknowingly, they had entered the deep mountains. Apart from the sound of the wind, there were only the chirping of insects. Occasionally, there were subtle footsteps. It should be the beasts hiding in the dark. They heard their voices and were anxious to hide.
"Your Majesty!" Tang Zhen called in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan raised his hand and motioned for Tang Zhen not to speak.
There was a slight sound in front of them. They all saw a mottled yellow figure. If they guessed correctly, it should be a tiger.
"Protect the Empress." Mo Rongzhan commanded in a deep voice.
Ye Zhen said helplessly, "I can protect myself."
Mo Rongzhan gave her a reassuring smile. "I don't trust you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a big mottled yellow tiger slowly coming out, staring at them with sharp and indifferent eyes.
Mo Rongzhan rode his horse and stood at the forefront, looking back at it coldly. There was no fear in his eyes, only the desire to conquer and ambition.
Xue Lin, Wu Chong, and others already held swords in their hands and stared at the tiger vigilantly.
"Roar!" The tiger roared and made a posture of preparing to pounce.
Just as the tiger jumped up, the arrow in Mo Rongzhan's hand had already shot out and hit the tiger's forehead.
Bang!
The tiger fell heavily in mid-air.
Ye Zhen was dumbfounded. Amazing!
Tang Zhen went to check the tiger's injury. "Your Majesty, it was killed with one arrow."
Mo Rongzhan nodded with a faint smile. "Let people carry it back to the tent. Let's continue into the mountain."
He could kill a tiger with one arrow. Why was he almost bitten to death by the tiger last time to save her?
Ye Zhen looked at him doubtfully. "Why didn't you shoot the tiger last time?"
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows and remembered that she was talking about the time in the hunting ground. He smiled faintly. "I forgot at that time."
"…" Ye Zhen's heart trembled slightly. How could someone as calm as him forget that he could easily kill a tiger? Was it because she was under the tiger's mouth and he was nervous and scared? Did he forget?
"Your Majesty, there are two mountain roads ahead." Xue Lin said in front.
Mo Rongzhan squinted slightly at the mountain road ahead. He had never been to this mountain before when he went hunting in Chengde Villa, so he didn't know how to go on these two mountain roads. He could only choose one at random by luck. "This one."
Ye Zhen's heart jumped and she turned to look at his handsome profile. He could even kill a tiger with one arrow. What beast could he not deal with? But what was the danger in divination?
