MTL - After Being Forced to Marry the Evil Star General-Chapter 77
Zhao Yelan heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, and opened his eyes slightly, only to find that Yan Mingting was staring at him with wide open eyes, as if watching him, like a vigilant leopard, with an inexplicable gleam in his eyes. Ferocious possessiveness.
Seeing this, Zhao Yelan was stunned for a moment, and immediately guessed who was coming from behind, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and he closed his eyes again, immersed in this majestic kiss.
The people behind gradually drifted away, and the two separated in unison. No one took the initiative to mention who was coming, but went to catch the rabbit.
After being so distracted just now, the rabbits had already scattered and fled. Zhao Yelan didn't have the strength to draw the bow again, and said, "You go."
"how about you?"
"I wander around."
Yan Mingting was worried, worried that a beast would come out and hurt him, so he said, "I'll go around with you."
The two led the horse and came to a small stream unknowingly. Several deer drank the water and fled the place quickly.
Zhao Yelan rubbed the medicine on his hands, and it was inconvenient, so he handed the handkerchief to Yan Mingting.
Yan Mingting went to the stream to soak the handkerchief, then wiped his face, wiped the back of his hands carefully, and said with a soft smile, "You bastard, you are so particular about hunting."
"Any questions?"
"No, I want to learn from you."
Yan Mingting said, wiped his face with the veil again, and then went to the stream to wash the veil again. There was a sudden movement, and he looked down at the things in the water.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yelan bent down to look, and saw a small crab the size of a thumb walking domineeringly in the water.
Yan Mingting picked it up and put it in his palm: "Isn't this another prey?"
"..."
The crabs are small, crawling back and forth in the palm of his hand, and it is very itchy. Zhao Yelan doesn't care if he throws it, or if he doesn't throw it. When he was struggling, Yan Mingting actually grabbed a few more and put them in his palm, then looked at him. With this helpless look, he backed up and laughed.
From time to time in the forest, the roar of tigers and beasts, the cheers of hitting prey, and the sound of birds fluttering away from the treetops, but the small world here seems a bit childish.
Zhao Yelan took off his shoes and went to tread water in the creek. Yan Mingting buried his head in catching crabs, and then put the caught crabs in a palm-sized pond dug next to him. Zhao Ye was in charge of managing this pond. When there are crabs that have escaped from prison, get them back.
Li Yucheng and Fu Qian came here because they were chasing the same rabbit. They looked at them from a distance, not daring to approach them.
Fu Qian was stunned in shock: "What are they doing? I stopped playing with these when I was five years old."
"I don't understand, it's just a matter of fun." Li Yucheng shot the rabbit while he was not paying attention, and proudly picked up the rabbit and ran away, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you don't leave, you will be drawn by them .”
Fu Qian glanced at the man with his trousers lifted and a smile on his face, no matter what, it was hard to be reunited with the King Yama who he remembered sitting in the interrogation room and gouging out the prisoner's eyes with his own hands.
How can a person be fierce and have such an innocent smile at the same time?
He couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to, so he should run away quickly.
After a while, the sun set and the sun completely sank, leaving only gray in the sky.
Yan Mingting didn't allow him to play any more, the water became cold, he dragged him to sit on the rock by the stream, and there were some belongings on the rock, Zhao Yelan even brought the short knife over.
"Let me go." Yan Mingting smiled and picked up the knife, and was about to put on his shoes, when he suddenly heard the roar of a tiger, and there were loud voices nearby: "Come here! Your Majesty is gone!" Already!"
The two looked at each other, and Zhao Yelan quickly put on his shoes: "Go and have a look."
As soon as we got to the side of the road, several people came running over and said in a hurry, "General Yan, Your Majesty just went to hunt a tiger. He ran too fast and everyone couldn't keep up. Now we can't find anyone. What should we do?" ?”
"Where did you go?" Yan Mingting asked.
"The southeast direction of Tiger Mountain."
Yan Mingting got on his horse, told Zhao Yelan that you go to the camp first, and then chased after him.
Seeing the back of him leaving alone, Zhao Yelan frowned, and said, "You guys, go find other generals and let them all find someone."
"yes."
After a while, the whole hunting ground was shouted, holding torches and looking for people everywhere. Not only has there been no news from the emperor, even Yan Mingting has not returned for a long time.
Some people began to worry, suspecting that the tiger this time was the mother tiger who was hunted last time and came to seek revenge. After all, it is a ferocious beast, with a huge body and sharp claws. A casual bite would cost half your life.
The more they talked, the more flustered they became, and everyone started to fluster their hands and feet. While tremblingly looking for people, they also hoped that they would not encounter a tiger.
Many people came around Hushan, Zhao Yelan was among them, followed by Li Yucheng who happened to meet him and his followers.
Knowing that Yan Mingting was looking for someone, Li Yucheng looked very relaxed, and chatted with him: "I won a big victory today, you didn't see Fu Qian's face, it was as black as charcoal hahaha."
The sky was completely dark, and the sounds of prey could be heard from time to time in the woods, and the road ahead could not be seen clearly. A little wind and grass could easily make people feel fear.
Li Yucheng was timid, and when there was any movement around, he was so frightened that he hugged the arms of his entourage and wanted to go back quickly, but everyone was looking for the emperor, so he didn't dare to leave the team without authorization, so he had to continue nagging. Responding, I couldn't help stretching out my hand and pulling my arm: "Hey, why aren't you afraid at all?"
"Shut up!" Zhao Yelan threw off his sleeve angrily, turned his head to look at him, his tone was stiff, his eyes were so cold that he could freeze to death, "One more word, and I will destroy you."
Li Yucheng was so frightened by his sudden anger that he didn't dare to make a sound, and followed him quietly, looking at his lonely and lonely back, he suddenly thought that this was the original Zhao Yelan.
The former Zhao Yelan, did he dare to approach so carelessly? Impossible, he really hates the original Zhao Yelan, who is selfish, unkind, and unkind.
When did you feel that he could get close?
That's right, when Yan Mingting was by his side, although he was still mean, he wouldn't really get angry, like a cat that's been annoyed, it would scratch you a few times, but it wouldn't really want you Life.
Li Yucheng was used to Zhao Yelan who was accompanied by Yan Mingting. He was lively, interesting and full of fireworks. To put it bluntly, it is like a person.
Now that Yan Mingting left, he would go back to his old ways.
too frightening.
Li Yucheng rubbed his arms and said in a low voice, "I just want to distract you. You seem to be worried about him. Don't worry, he will be fine. No one can hurt him, not even a tiger."
Zhao Yelan's expression softened a little, but he still ignored him.
A group of people came around Tiger Mountain. Zhao Yelan looked at the tiger footprints on the ground and led his people to follow them. Finally, they came to a cliff edge, surrounded by ropes, indicating that this was the boundary line of the hunting ground, but a section was blocked broke.
Zhao Yelan ordered someone to find the commander of the imperial army, and this time the imperial army was to deploy the defense.
When the commander saw this situation, he was almost terrified, and said that the grass around here was all gone, and there was no place to hide. Normally, the tiger would never come here, and he didn't know why it rushed over today.
Zhao Yelan walked to the edge of the cliff, looked down, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and then heard someone beside him say, "A sword fell here."
Zhao Yelan walked over and saw that it was worn by Yan Mingting, and looked at the commander angrily: "Hurry up and take people down to look for it!"
"Are you okay?" Zhao Xuan asked.
"It's okay." Yan Mingting sat up, took out a bottle of medicine from his arms, wiped it on his knees a few times, then tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes, and wrapped it around it with gritted teeth, but the arm of his right hand was also on the rock. Bleeding from upper friction, not easy to bandage.
Zhao Xuan took the cloth strip from his hand and silently helped him tie it on his arm.
"Thank you."
"I should thank you, you saved my life."
Half an hour ago, he saw these two people kissing under the tree. For some reason, he felt a fire in his heart, but he didn't explode. Instead, he left silently and came to Hushan without knowing it, wanting to vent his anger , So I wanted to hunt and kill this tiger just like last time.
Who knew that this one was much more difficult to deal with. First he turned around and ran away. He held his breath and chased after him without even thinking about it. He didn't even notice that the people behind were not following. He shot a few poisonous arrows, but the tiger turned around and rushed towards him, opened its mouth, and bit down hard.
He held the quiver and used all his strength to hold it against its upper jaw. The quiver was bitten through before it lasted long. Seeing that the teeth in the gap were about to penetrate his body, suddenly an epee hit it. On the head, it rolled to the ground.
Yan Mingting arrived in time and helped him up. Just as he was about to leave, the tiger quickly crawled back and walked around them, as if looking for an opportunity.
Zhao Xuan was dripping with cold sweat, subconsciously glanced at Yan Mingting, but saw that Yan Mingting's eyes were calm, he was watching the movement of the tiger closely, and seemed to be looking for an opportunity, but his sword was no longer in his hand.
Suddenly, the tiger rushed towards them.
Zhao Xuan's eyes went dark, and he felt someone hugging his waist and flashed to the side, then Yan Mingting let go of him, jumped up into the air, sat on the tiger's back, drew out a short knife, and pierced it into its eyes .
Suddenly there was a ferocious tiger howl, the tiger violently swung on the ground, Yan Mingting held down its head, poked its other eye blind, and then quickly jumped away from its back.
The tiger was blind and crawled on the ground without head or tail. He accidentally pushed Zhao Xuan to the edge of the cliff. Zhao Xuan screamed, but was caught and fell down together.
Yan Mingting stepped on several broken cliffs and trees before rolling to the valley. Not far away was the dead tiger, blood flowing down a small stream.
There is a small cave next to it, which can shelter from wind and rain.
Zhao Xuan scratched a few places, but not as serious as Yan Mingting's. He glanced at the other's injury and asked worriedly, "Can you still stand up?"
"Yes." Yan Mingting stood up supporting the wall, and walked outside again.
"Where are you going?" Zhao Xuan asked.
"This tiger skin, don't want it for nothing." Yan Mingting limped and walked towards the tiger, holding the short knife in his hand again, made a cut, and began to peel the skin.
Now Zhao Xuan felt dizzy when he saw the tiger, and couldn't look any more, so he sat back in the cave, recalling the thrilling scene just now, it was the closest step to death.
At the moment when he fell off the cliff, this brief sound flashed before his eyes, and he realized that Zhao Yelan had participated in half of the important things in his short life.
And the last picture that couldn't be shaken off for a long time is actually Zhao Yelan wearing a red dress and a red hijab, with only a pair of white hands with distinct bones, holding a big red ribbon, and at the other end is the heroic Yan Yan Ming court.
Wearing the same red dress, standing with Zhao Yelan, he was not inferior, the gravel on the battlefield did not dampen him, but his eyes were still clean and bright, with the vigor of a young man, and the maturity and stability of going through the world, Smile and thank everyone who came to drink wedding wine.
And he, sitting on the main seat, watched the two people bow to the world, and he was still wondering what would happen to the two people in the future.
Unexpectedly, after only half a year, they were still attracted to each other.
Heavy footsteps sounded outside, Yan Mingting walked in carrying the tiger skin covered in blood, took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on the tiger skin.
It was impossible for Yan Mingting to carry a handkerchief with him, so Zhao Xuan could tell at a glance that it belonged to Zhao Yelan.
"Take a break first, why are you in such a hurry to get the tiger skin?" Zhao Xuan asked.
"It's going to be winter soon, just make him a blanket." Yan Mingting smiled.
Who he is is self-evident. Thinking that Zhao Yelan was half responsible for being afraid of the cold, he sighed: "If he hadn't blocked an arrow for me back then, he wouldn't be so afraid of the cold."
Yan Mingting paused, did not speak, and continued to wipe.
Zhao Xuan was still keenly aware of the moment when he paused, and there was an inexplicable sense of despicable joy, as if no matter how powerful Yan Mingting was, he couldn't take away their childhood, and the things they experienced together couldn't changed and reversed.
"The doctor rescued him for a few days before he woke up." Zhao Xuan said, laughing suddenly and inexplicably, "He also called someone's name in his dream."
He didn't say who that name was, but Yan Mingting knew it couldn't be him, and said, "Well, I know."
"You know?" Zhao Xuan couldn't control his expression for a moment. How could he even tell him such a private matter?
Zhao Yelan did mention it to him. When they were in Jiangnan, they were sitting on the roof. He asked Zhao Yelan why he blocked the opponent's arrow. After the other party finished explaining the reason, he hesitated to mention this matter.
What Zhao Yelan said back then, oh, I remembered—
"I also did an outrageous thing at the time. When I was half asleep and half awake, I heard Zhao Xuan's voice, and suddenly thought of another way. Since I have already made him feel guilty, why not make him feel at ease with me? I pretended Tsukuru called his name in a dream."
"He is a child of the royal family, and the Xuan Dynasty's laws do not allow the children of the royal family to marry men, so he will definitely choose Jiangshan. What's more, he doesn't like men, but he needs me to advise him, so he will leave me at ease. Next. He may be afraid of a person who wants power, but if it is a person who admires him, he will only use it with confidence."
Yan Mingting's mood at that time was exactly the same as it is now - fortunately Zhao Yelan spoke out on his own initiative, otherwise he would have been jealous or would have died if he had learned this from Zhao Xuan.
He could understand that Zhao Yelan would do anything for his own living environment in a desperate situation. In fact, it was exactly as Zhao Yelan judged. Some were executed, and he was always in the capital because Zhao Xuan felt that he still admired him and would not have any resentment towards him.
Naturally, he would not tell Zhao Xuan these reasons. After saying "I know", the two fell into silence again.
Yan Mingting continued to rub the tiger's fur, being careful not to get the fur.
Sitting not far away, Zhao Xuan looked at him, and suddenly asked, "Then do you know his background too?"
"En." Yan Mingting suddenly stopped what he was doing, looked up at him, and said solemnly, "Thank you Your Majesty for saving his life back then."
The tone was sincere, Zhao Xuan's Adam's apple rolled over what a qualified family member said, but he couldn't refuse his thanks, so he just smiled self-deprecatingly: "Why does he tell you everything..."
Isn't this his most taboo thing? How come they have only known each other for half a year, and they have already confessed everything?
"Because we have been married before, there will be no secrets." Yan Mingting said, and thanked again, "I also want to thank Your Majesty for granting us a marriage, otherwise how could we fall in love so quickly? .”
Fall in love so quickly instead of not falling in love.
Yan Mingting felt that even if they didn't confer a marriage, but were just colleagues, he would definitely be attracted by Zhao Yelan, and pursue him hard. Even if it lasted a little longer, they would still be together.
Zhao Xuan choked completely, she really took the initiative to draw them a constant red line.
But seeing him so proud, Zhao Xuan was slightly upset, and said, "Do you know what his favorite thing to do before?"
Yan Mingting wanted to know what Zhao Yelan was like when he was a child, but he would rather listen to what Zhao Yelan told him, rather than hear it from Zhao Xuan.
He stood up and walked towards Zhao Xuan, intending to slap him unconscious while he was not paying attention, but when he passed behind him and raised his hand, he heard the sound of messy footsteps outside.
"Your Majesty! General! We finally found you, are you all right?" The commander led a group of people to appear at the entrance of the cave, and shouted back, "We found them!"
The group of people rushed in, helped Zhao Xuan up, and cared about the injury.
Yan Mingting took a few steps back to make room for them. At this moment, a figure appeared at the door, trying to push aside the people standing in front of him: "Yan Mingting!"
Yan Mingting immediately looked up, and when he saw Zhao Yelan, he smiled with relief: "I'm here."
Zhao Xuan also looked over, and found that his hair was disheveled, the jade crown on his head was blown away by some tree, and some weeds were stained on his clothes. He was completely different from the neat and tidy Zhao Yelan.
The next moment, he watched the person approaching in a hurry, and only then noticed that the other person's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and then passed him by without even looking at him, and ran towards the figure in front, tripped by his feet , almost fell, but luckily Yan Mingting caught him in time.
"Are you okay?" Yan Mingting and Zhao Yelan said in unison.
"It's okay." Yan Mingting smiled at him.
Zhao Yelan quickly stood up, saw that his arms and knees were wrapped in cloth, and there were still a lot of blood stains, so he hurriedly pulled him to look around carefully, and found that his whole body was covered in blood, and his eyes turned red with fear: "Also said fine!"
Yan Mingting wanted to explain that the blood was from the tigers, but Zhao Xuan had been looking at them from the corner of his eye, so he immediately changed his words: "Ah, it hurts so much."
"Where does it hurt?" Zhao Yelan asked hastily.
"My whole body hurts." Yan Mingting put his hands on his shoulders, leaned on him, and said weakly and unable to take care of himself, "Let's go home first, or you can blow it for me first, or kiss me .”
Zhao Xuan: "..."
