Chapter 23 Encounter with the King of Chu

Qiu Yao greedily breathed the fresh air unique to the mountains and rode the little white leisurely on the soft grass. Occasionally, a few hares were frightened from the grass not far away. Qiu Yao sat on the horse and squinted at the little things that fled around, and she was extremely happy.

People who have just been offline will always try to relax themselves. Qiu Yao and Xiaobai wandered around casually. Unexpectedly, she took her to a stream. Qiu Yao's eyes suddenly lit up. She hadn't taken a shower for so many days. She jumped off the horse and took a look at Linxi. Her whole body was as untidy as she expected.

She put her hand into Suizhong, and the water temperature was not cold or hot. Qiu Yao cheered and began to untie her clothes. In the middle of the progress, she seemed to think of something. She ran to a rockwork by the stream and poked her head and looked around. You should know that in many film and television novels, girls always met so many men who happened to peep at the spring. ~

After confirming that there was no one around, Qiu Yao took off her clothes and put them next to the rockery. After a smile, she jumped into the water like a frog and splashed a large splash.

"Well... it's so comfortable..." She has to soak in this stream for a while, otherwise the narrow scene will definitely laugh at her as dirty as a little mouse.

Xiaobai cleverly ate grass near his clothes, and put an end to the plot of Lao Niu stealing clothes. Qiu Yao has been soaking in the water for half an hour, but the sky is slowly getting dark, and there seems to be a tendency to rain. Just as she was about to go ashore, there was a rapid sound of horses' hoofs in the distance, with at least a dozen horses.

Qiu Yao talked about it. She swam desperately from the middle of the lake to the shore. The sound of the horse's hoof was getting closer and closer, and it was clear that it came to the place of the stream. Qiu Yao rolled and ran to the back of the rockery and hurriedly put her clothes on her body, and the sound of the horse's hoof had come nearby.

Qiu Yao tied her belt randomly. She didn't care about the dripping hair. She grabbed the reins with her skirt and was ready to run away. Just as she was about to get on the horse, the group of people just rushed to the shore. Suddenly, she saw a person and a horse after the rockery. When the first person hurriedly strangled her horse, the speed of the horse had been greatly reduced. Otherwise, Qiu Yao will definitely be hit into the sky like a gray wolf.

Even so, the leading man in black still rolled down from the horse because he failed to catch the hoofed mount, and his left arm just hit the rockery beside him, causing a shout from behind.

Qiu Yao was scared by the accident and stunned in place. Several people behind the man in black have scrambled to check his injuries. Qiu Yao only saw their lips one by one, but she was not listening to what they were talking about.

It was not until she saw a cheating red oozing from the white underwear under the black sleeve crack that Qiu Yao came to her senses and squatted down to push away the clumsy attendants who were clumsy to check the wound, but she was pushed away by one of them.

"Who are you! How dare he ambush here... A man in purple scolded Qiu Yao, who was pushed to the ground by him, but in the middle of his words, he was stopped by the man in black with his eyes. Qiu Yao saw that there was an quiver hanging on their horses, and there were few arrows left in it, and the last few servants were holding a lot of hares in their hands. It could be seen that these people should have come to the mountain to hunt.

"What an ambush is not an ambush? I just happened to be here..." Qiu Yao took out the bottle of injured medicine that Dr. Zhou had changed for her from her clothes and walked to the Xuanyi man. Previously, when it sent Mao Sui to the medical center, she confirmed that it was the injured medicine and stayed by her for a rainy day. "Please tear off the sleeves."

In fact, without saying the first half of her sentence, others can see what she came here for. The clothes were not wet and his shoulders were loose. The man in purple looked away with his head uncompliedly and did not look at the jade skin accidentally exposed under the careless woman's neckline.

Qiu Yao was originally dizzy, but at this time, in order to deal with the trouble she caused, she had to grit her teeth and force herself to treat the wound. Fortunately, the person's bleeding was not very large.

Even if Qiu Yao hasn't been in this era for a long time, she can still feel the excellent texture of her clothes, and she can't help but cry in her heart. I'm afraid she has provoked some dignitaries this time.

"Go and take this to the stream and get half wet." Qiu Yao took out a white veil and stuffed it into the hands of the people on the side. She carefully rolled up the torn sleeves little by little. Just as she wanted to look up and apologize, she bumped directly into the hot eyes of the person in front of her and hurriedly lowered her head. She tragically found that she had not pulled the collar in a hurry, and the two locks were not very prominent. The bones were exposed to the air, and a drop of water slipped down the hair, sliding all the way into the skirt along the snow-white neck.

Qiu Yao's small face suddenly turned red. She hurriedly pulled out her hand and put her neckline close. As a result, the handkerchief dipped in water went to wipe the stone debris on the wound. In a panic, she was not sure of her strength, and she heard a "hush" from the top of her head.

The five attendants had to complain again, but they were all because the man in Xuanyi was not easy to attack. Qiu Yao didn't dare to be careless any more. She concentrated on cleaning up the blood and debris on the wound, then poured the powder and wrapped the wound with the part of the handkerchief that was not wet.

The ends of the hair are still dripping with water, the broken hair is close to the full forehead, and the temples hang down to the cheeks. Under the movement of the breeze, the lips are a little white because of the previous shock, but the face is red because of the sudden release of spring. The man in black eyes fell from less than two feet above her, lingerly on her beautiful and lovely face, and on her slender eyelashes, she didn't even notice that the wound was bandaged.

But the people on the side were keenly aware of the strangeness of the master. After looking at each other tacitly, the man in yellow who was responsible for washing the handkerchief got up with the king of Chu and asked very politely, "Is the girl a resident of this Wu County?"

Qiu Yao answered casually, and then casually bowed to the man in black clothes who had been staring at her and said "I'm sorry". She turned over and left several times. Unexpectedly, the man in purple, who had just been angry with her, suddenly came forward to stop her.

"My surname is Tang Mingle, dare you ask the girl..."

"Tinler? Are you the disciple?" Qiu Yao sat on the horse and looked down at him with interest. This man looked like a weak scholar, but looking at his pale face and thin body, maybe he was really overindulgent...

Tang Le didn't expect her to ask such a question. After being slightly stunned, he replied stupidly, "It's right". Looking back, he saw that his master's face had slowly turned black, and he suddenly panicked.

At the thought of this disciple who had slandered Song Yuqiuyao in front of the king of Chu, he was very unhappy. While Tang Le was not careful, Qiu Yao galloped away.

"Are you and she old acquaintances?" The man in black patted the weeds on his clothes and looked at the white silk on his arm thoughtfully.

"To the king, Weichen and the girl have never been born." Tang Le is called an injustice.

"Your Majesty, the woman went down to the mountain. It's going to rain. Let's go back as soon as possible." The man in yellow who spoke was Xiahou, and the voice outside the string was self-evident.

"Let's go."

It turned out that this day was the day when the King of Chu took Tang Le, Xia Hou and others up the mountain to hunt. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Qiu Yao when he went to the stream to drink horses.

Qiu Yao was uneasy riding on the horse. At first glance, the man in black is the most prominent among several people, and Tang Le is a close minister beside the king of Chu. In this way, the man in black is very likely to be the king of Chu himself...

At the thought of Qiu Yao's heart, she trembled, and Song Yu and Jingqi should live with the King of Chu now, but she had no choice but to defect to them. She has never been penniless...

The horse galloped down the mountain, and it was very dark. It went four or five miles to the west, and the surrounding houses gradually became dense. Before arriving at the market, Qiu Yao slightly straightened her clothes and trimmed her half-dry hair. She asked several local residents about the specific location of the Lan Palace, and got on the horse again to go to the Lan Palace.

When we arrived outside the gate of the Orchid Palace, the dark clouds were already dense, but the raindrops had not yet fallen. Qiu Yao was stopped by several guards as soon as she got on the horse.

"I'm here to find the difference." Nominally, she and Jingchao still have a marriage contract. It should be more appropriate to report his name at this time. The two guards looked at each other and replied, "Gong Jing hasn't come back after going out in the afternoon."

Qiu Yao curled her lips, stretched her neck and looked inside, "Then I'll find Song Yu."

The guard was a little unhappy when he saw that she called the names of the two adults one after another, but he didn't say anything when he thought that they might be very close to each other. He said "Girl, wait a minute" and asked people to go in and report, and soon he was confirmed to let Qiu Yao enter the palace gate.

"Help me take care of my horse~" Qiu Yao happily stepped into the gate of the palace. While walking, she enjoyed the magnificent palace and all kinds of strange flowers and grass. The bodyguard leading the way had to urge her to say a few words when she walked slowly.

Passing by a wooden bridge with exquisite carving, the bodyguard pointed to a courtyard door in front of him and said, "This is Lord Song's yard."

Qiu Yao stopped, took the hairband and tied up her long dry hair, and straightened the wrinkled skirt when riding. However, she saw that the bodyguard leading the way was smiling secretly. She couldn't help raising her eyebrows and said, "What are you looking at? I haven't seen a beautiful woman."

As a result, as soon as she stepped on the hospital door, she saw Song Yu coming to the door.

Well, she's embarrassing again.

The king of Chu went up the mountain to hunt, and also took a few people with Xiahou. Song Yu and Jingcha were dissatisfied and could not directly show it. Seeing that the dark and heavy rain was coming and the king of Chu had not yet returned, Song Yu faintly felt a little worried. The Jianshu in his hand was spread out for a long time, but he could not read a word.

Just when he was a little restless, someone suddenly announced that there was a green-shirted woman outside the door who wanted to see him. The beautiful and round little face immediately appeared in Song Yu's mind. She wanted to wait for her to come while reading, but she didn't arrive for a long time. For the first time, Song Yu felt a little unable to sit still for things other than state affairs, so she got up and walked out. Unexpectedly, she didn't take a few steps out of the study. Then she heard her words of the bodyguard. After meeting, she saw that her little face was full of embarrassment, which was so cute.

The depression in my heart suddenly swept away, but there was still no obvious emotion on my face. For the time being, Song Yu stood still and looked at Qiu Yao standing quietly at the gate of the courtyard, and said lightly, "Come in."

In the first two meetings, she crossed the wall and entered. On the day of Qiuxi, he just signaled himself to enter the door in silence - but this time, he said to him, come in.

Come in...

An inexplicable joy surged from Qiu Yao's chest.

Song Yu silently watched her approach her. When she turned around, she heard her mindlessly ask, "Where is the difference?" The corners of her mouth, which had been slightly raised, returned to her original indifference.

"The post hall."

While talking, the big raindrops fell from the sky one after another, and several fallen leaves on the ground were blown off the ground by the wind. Qiu Yao followed Song Yu into the study. There was still a roll of open bamboo slips on the desk.

"In a moment, except for the difference, don't let anyone else know that I'm here."

"Good." Before Song Yu sat back, Qiu Yao stood in the middle of the study and didn't know where to put her hands and feet. If she saw Jingcha first, the guy would have smiled and asked himself if he had stolen from home again, but Song Yu didn't say a word about it and looked indifferent from beginning to end.

"I seem to have accidentally injured the King of Chu just now." He didn't ask, but she wanted to say that somehow, Qiu Yao's happiness when she first arrived turned into displeasure.

Sure enough, Song Yu put down the bamboo slips she had just picked up, looked up at Qiu Yao, who was staring at her, and motioned her to continue.

Qiu Yao briefly stated what happened on Xiayunmeng Mountain in a few words. After that, she sat down on the chair next to her and said, "I'm hungry."

At this moment, someone suddenly reported outside that the king of Chu had just come back and asked Song Yu to go there immediately.

Qiu Yao was shocked and thought that the King of Chu had known what had happened here and was ready to clean himself up. Song Yu got up and left the case. After passing Qiu Yao, she paused for a few seconds, "Stay here and don't walk away. I will let people send food in." Then she walked out of the door.

Qiu Yao felt much more at ease when she saw him talking. His voice sounded faint, but it always had a gentle taste, which imperceptibly made people unconsciously attached.
