Chapter 693 Autumn Hunting
Xie Yuan asked with some doubts:

"Why do you have to follow me? Actually, you don't have to please me."

Lingxiu looked at Xie Yuan, her eyes filled with tears, and the tears wet her eyelashes. She sat on the ground so softly, and when she looked up, she looked very pitiful, and cried and said:

"Because I know you're different from everyone else. I knew it when I first saw you. I didn't know you were a girl then, but you were sheathing your sword and watching When you looked at me, although you frowned, I could see that you were sorry for me, weren't you?
The noble people in this world look at us with contempt or pity, especially the men, they see us more like a commodity, a plaything, no one...I never I've seen another person show me a pained expression that empathizes with me, let alone a noble and powerful man like General Xie. "

The more she spoke, the more turbulent her tears became, and she gradually broke down in sobs, saying:

"...It's as if I have suffered silently for many years, and suddenly one day, I was seen and known by others.

I don't know how to describe my own feelings... But, I just feel that you are the meal I need, my life-saving straw... Even if you have no dignity and no image like a mad dog, I must Follow you... General Xie, you understand me, right? ……right? "

Xie Yuan frowned slightly, and she couldn't help but get wet when she looked at Lingxiu's hopeless hope.After a while, she lowered her Danfeng eyes, stretched out her hand to Shen Liuzhen beside her, and said:
"Sign her to my name."

Shen Liuzhen was helpless, pursed his lips, looked dissatisfiedly at Lingxiu who was extremely happy, and had no choice but to order someone to do it.

……

……

After a few more days, autumn came. Every year in this season, according to the usual practice, a grand hunting event will be held.

Led by the emperor, all the generals of the Xianbei tribe, as long as they are not convenient for fighting, will gather in Pingcheng to participate together, which is equivalent to a big tribal carnival and gathering.

It's not that Han people and other miscellaneous people participated in it, but compared with those Xianbei people, most of them were just foils.

Shen Liuzhen used to come out with Wu Lei, but he just watched the fun with his sleeves up, and talked with Wu Lei from time to time, without doing much.

But this time, Ulei asked Xie Yuan to go with him by name, and also told her to hunt more prey. Taking this opportunity, she showed her face in front of the elders and generals of the Xianbei clan. This was an excellent opportunity to introduce her. Chance.

The emperor's guard of honor walked in the front, and the flags fluttered behind, including the logistics, the guards, and some serving maids and eunuchs. There were [-] to [-] people following behind.

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen followed closely behind the emperor's driving force. Looking back, they saw that the cavalry was majestic, with thousands of horses galloping. It was different from the solemn and rigorous team during the war. It was a team with a bit of indulgence and cheerful atmosphere, which was very spectacular.

She even saw a few young people of the Xianbei ethnic group, riding horses around the two sides of the team, chasing and galloping back and forth. It seems that this is similar to the activities of the Han people when they go out to enjoy the flowers, the scenery and the moon in autumn, except that they are replaced by hunting. up.

Thinking about this, Xie Yuan withdrew his gaze and looked at Shen Liuzhen.

Shen Liuzhen rarely wore a jacket with sleeves and waist today, and she was riding on horseback. She looked quite heroic and heroic. She was in a good mood, and said with the corners of her lips curled up:

"You are very bluffing with your outfit today. It would be fine if you could hit a rabbit."

Hearing Xie Yuan's praise, Shen Liuzhen glanced at her with a smile on his natural pink eyes, and said shamelessly:
"I wear this suit just to match you, A Yuan. As for the prey, of course it is impossible to have it. Then I ask A Yuan to kill a few more and count it on my head. It is not in vain for the spirit I wore today." .”

At this time, Shi Yuhengjia, who was also behind the emperor's car, turned his head to look at the two of them, and said to Shen Liuzhen with some disgust:
"You don't want a man's face at all. You can say such things, so you're not ashamed."

Shi Yu Hengjia still carried his usual frivolous tone, with a cynical casualness.

Xie Yuan looked at Shi Yuhengjia's back and his face darkened, but Shen Liuzhen was still very happy and said:

"General Heng Jia, this is your fault, why are you still eavesdropping on our husband and wife?"

Shi Yuhengjia slowed down the speed of the horse, paralleled Shen Liuzhen, sneered and said:
"Who do you want to listen to? There are two shameless young people who are talking about love in public... I always thought that Han people were quite pedantic and conservative..."

As he spoke, he looked at Xie Yuan through the distance between Shen Liuzhen, but Xie Yuan still had a dark face, staring straight ahead, not looking at him at all, let alone talking to him.

Shen Liuzhen joked with him in particular:

"General Heng Jia made fun of me again. I heard that you brought Mrs. Zun here with you this time. Can you introduce us later?"

Shi Yuhengjia was a little unhappy, snorted and said:
"Farewell, I see that General Xie is quite unconvinced as a surrendered general, and he is still holding the air of the general of Song Dynasty Hussars to hate us Xianbei people. My wife is also from Xianbei, so don't be hacked to death by General Xie again. gone."

Xie Yuan originally had an impression of Shi Yu Hengjia as pain, but when he heard his sarcastic remarks one after another, he immediately became angry and said:
"Shi Yu Hengjia, I surrendered because the emperor of the Wei Kingdom stayed in the imperial court. What does it have to do with you? What are you proud of here?! If I insisted on attacking the city at that time, whether you still have your life or not today is a matter of choice!"

Shi Yuhengjia glanced at Xie Yuan, feeling a little guilty, but sneered coldly:
"What are you doing talking so much nonsense? Surrender is surrender. I'm afraid that some people, after being defeated by their subordinates, still hold on to their arrogance. It's really ridiculous."

Xie Yuan stared at him sideways, put his hand on the saber, gritted his teeth and said:
"Don't leave when you have the ability, let's fight with real swords and guns, and see who is the loser!"

Shi Yuhengjia snorted coldly and said, "Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Shen Liuzhen was caught in the middle, keeping his eyes down in silence.Let Xie Yuan solve this kind of matter by himself.There is no need for him to mediate in the middle.It's just that the atmosphere is so awkward...

"General Heng Jia, you have been stationed in the Southern Army Town. What new moves have you made in the Southern Dynasty recently? Is there any sign of using force?"

Xie Yuan was also interested in this question, so he eased his tense expression, and waited reluctantly for Shi Yuhengjia's answer.

Shi Yuhengjia shifted his gaze away from Xie Yuan's face, and said in a frivolous tone:
"That Chen Jiu became the emperor, and he has been busy purging the villains in the territory and wooing the clan's powerful people. How can he have the time to pick things up? If it weren't because Wei Guo had been spending his time on countering the rebellion, earlier, it was really an annexation of the Southern Dynasty. Good time for the territory."
