Chapter 252 If you say too much, you will be wrong.
When Ye Sinan saw her holding a bow and arrow, he knew that she was using this as an excuse to come looking for him.
He took the bow and arrow and hunted some prey for Yao Jia in the forest, including pheasants, rabbits, and a few fish.
"What kind do you want to eat?"
“Roast rabbit.”
Ye Sinan smiled and nodded, then went to the river, skinned the rabbit, cleaned it, and roasted it over a fire.
As night fell, Ye Sinan handed the roasted rabbit to Yao Jia. Seeing her eat with satisfaction, his heart was filled with happiness.
"I have to go now."
Yao Jia paused, looked up at him, feeling a little reluctant.
"So fast?"
Ye Sinan nodded, turned the fish over and continued grilling it, "You've been out for so long, they must be worried."
Yao Jia was not afraid of anyone coming looking for her, as she had set up a formation on the way here so that no one could find her.
She put aside the rabbit that had been gnawed to the bone, raised her arms to hug his waist, and buried her head in his arms.
"You must be safe and take good care of yourself. After delivering the letter, do not linger and rush back to Kyoto to see me."
Ye Sinan raised his hand and stroked her long hair, and said softly: "I promise you, I will come back to you as soon as I finish my work."
Yao Jia looked up at him, eyes full of reluctance, "Then you must keep your word."
Ye Sinan nodded, "Sure."
The two of them hugged each other and sat quietly in the light of the fire. No one spoke, and they enjoyed this rare quiet time.
Gu Xiyan looked at the two people hugging each other tightly from afar, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
Jealousy, envy, loss
It turned out that he was so eager to go into the mountains just to see Ye Sinan.
Set up those entangled formations.
They were afraid that someone would disturb their tryst.
Why do this?
Why should she be so wary of him? He has already said that he will not disturb her life.
Why bother guarding against him?
Don't trust him, do you?
He bit the soft flesh in his mouth tightly, turned his face to the side and closed his eyes.
But Yaojia's gentle advice would still reach his ears along the direction of the wind.
When he turned around to leave, he accidentally stepped on a dead branch, making a noise.
He paused, but continued to move forward.
When Ye Sinan heard the sound, he immediately raised his head alertly and looked around.
Yao Jia also looked in the direction of the voice, but only saw Gu Xiyan's slowly leaving back.
There was clearly a formation set up, how could Gu Xiyan find this place?
My mind suddenly lit up, it must be that military book.
The formations set up in the dense forest are similar to those in military books.
Ye Sinan raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head, "The person who came to look for you has arrived, and I am relieved..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from Yao Jia's side.
Several golden eagles circling in the sky also flew away with a roar.
"Come out!"
Gu Xiyan immediately appeared beside her.
"Why is he gone?"
Few people know that Ye Sinan is the Palace Master of Lingyun Palace, and Yao Jia does not intend to let him know.
"He has his own things to do."
Gu Xiyan nodded and stopped asking questions.
He had been standing in the dark just now, but when the firelight shone on him, Yao Jia realized that he was in a mess, with many scars on his face and hands.
Perhaps it was scratched by the thorn bushes she set up in the formation.
His eyes moved slightly, and he sat back in the place where he was just now, picked up the processed fish beside him, and continued to grill it.
"How long have you been here?"
Gu Xiyan lowered his eyes, turned around and sat down beside her, raised his hand and tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of his clothes and bandaged the wound on his hand.
"Not long."
Yao Jia glanced at the scratches on his hand, felt something strange in her heart, raised her hand and handed the handkerchief in her arms to him.
"Use this."
Gu Xiyan was stunned for a moment, then carefully took the handkerchief. He did not wipe the wound, but put it in his arms like a treasure.
Seeing him like this, Yao Jia rolled her eyes, called him an "idiot", turned the fish over and continued grilling it.
Gu Xiyan opened his mouth and wanted to reply, "No, I'm not," but swallowed the words back.
I don’t know which words will touch her sensitive spot, so it’s better not to say anything.
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make.
The two of them just sat there, listening to the crackling sound of the firewood burning, each thinking about their own thoughts.
The fish was grilled, Yao Jia handed it to Gu Xiyan, "Eat it."
Gu Xiyan was flattered and quickly reached out to take it. Without even blowing on it, he took a sip.
The consequences can be imagined, the person was grimacing from the burns.
Yao Jia sneered, "Idiot."
Looking at his clumsy appearance at this moment, my thoughts gradually drifted away.
Three months before her death in her previous life, Sanlang hid her in a mountain similar to this one.
There was nothing to eat in the mountains during the winter, so the two of them went hunting in the forests.
I originally thought that Sanlang was weak and had no hope for him, but I didn't expect that his archery accuracy was so good that every arrow hit its target.
She didn't notice anything at that time.
Maybe you found it?
But I didn't want to think too much about it, after all, he was the only one around me.
I’m afraid I’ll regret asking.
She couldn't understand why he didn't just shoot her to death directly, since he was such a good archer, but had to do it after the wedding ceremony...
Yao Jia closed her eyes, still unable to suppress the irritability in her heart, and stood up, "I'll go back first. Remember to put out the fire after you finish eating before leaving."
Without waiting for Gu Xiyan's reaction, he turned and left in a hurry, eager to escape from this quiet jungle.
Gu Xiyan hurriedly put down the grilled fish, kicked out the campfire, and chased her out of the dense forest in the direction she left. All he heard was the sound of galloping horses.
Knowing that she didn't like him following her so closely, he had no choice but to ride his horse and follow her from a distance. He was relieved only when he saw her arrive at the camp safely.
He dismounted, led the horse and walked back to the camp.
When Gu Yi saw him coming back, he immediately went to greet him, "Sir, why are you back just now? The Pavilion Master has been back for quite some time."
Gu Xiyan handed him the whip in her hand and said, "She is afraid of the cold. Do you have a charcoal basin in her tent?"
"I'm ready. I'm ready."
Gu Yi took the whip from his hand, looked up, and saw that his lips were red and a little broken, and asked in surprise: "Sir, what's wrong with your mouth?"
Gu Xiyan was accidentally scalded while eating fish, so she naturally would not mention this embarrassing incident in front of Gu Yi.
Her face looked a little unnatural, "You're getting irritated." She urged him to go out and get a basin of water for washing his feet.
Gu scratched his head and went out. The young master's mouth was obviously fine when he went out just now. In just a short period of time, even if he was angry, it was impossible for him to be so angry.
How come your mouth starts to break when you go out to look for Pavilion Master Nangong for a while?
"oops!"
I slapped my forehead and thought, two people, a man and a woman, meeting in the dense forest, something is bound to happen.
After entering the tent with the foot-washing water, he looked at Gu Xiyan with an ambiguous look, "Sir, have you reconciled with Pavilion Master Nangong?"
Ever since they left the military camp, the two of them have been very polite to each other. You call me "Master" and I reply with "General Gu", which made him and his personal soldiers shake their heads.
Everyone was betting on how long it would take for the Young Master and Pavilion Master Nangong to reconcile.
He bet and ended.
As expected, when the peace talks were concluded and King Rui read out the decree granting the marriage to the two, he would surely make a profit of more than one hundred taels.
But who would have thought that on the day of the marriage, the young master came back drunk, crying and shouting, howling like a ghost.
This time on the way to Beijing, the two of them didn't have any communication at all.
When the personal soldiers saw this trend, they all said that the two men were not in harmony with each other and asked him to spit out the silver.
But judging by the young master's words today, the two of them must have reconciled, and the silver has been saved.
Gu Xiyan took off his boots, put his feet in the basin, frowned slightly, and asked, "Reconcile?"
Reconciliation?
He wanted to reconcile, but Yao Jia didn't give him any chance at all. Even if he wanted to get married after returning, it was only because of the imperial decree.
Gu Yi didn't know what he was thinking and nodded.
"Yes, didn't you cry and say that the Pavilion Master didn't want you when you were drunk that day? During these days of traveling, the number of words the Pavilion Master said to you can be counted on one hand. Now you go out with the Pavilion Master, and when you come back you say... hehehehe..."
