Chapter 115

The two returned home with a full load, Wen Mingyun had a great time playing, the whole person was sweating profusely, and his physical strength was about to run out, but the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

Cheng Tingyu saw it, and directly took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, while Wen Mingyun gently wiped his sweat.

"Hunting is so interesting!" She couldn't help but sigh.

The man also laughed. Hunting is like fishing. The moment of success, the joy and sense of accomplishment that surged up really made people happy, and every pore in the body seemed to be stretched.

When Wen Mingyun and the fifth princess hunted together before, the fifth princess wanted to prove her strength and refused to let the guards help easily. It was entirely the two of them chasing prey. The most successful time was to encircle a deer, but after hunting the deer,Wen Mingyun was exhausted. Even if a large prey appeared, she couldn't even lift a bow and arrow, and she soon became tired.

It's completely overwhelmed and lacking in strength.

But hunting with Cheng Tingyu will not be like this at all.

He doesn't need to prove himself, it's purely for fun, the main purpose is to make Wen Mingyun happy, so he doesn't rush to charge, when encountering large prey, he will let Wen Mingyun shoot arrows first, if the prey escapes or wants to attack them, he shot again.

Wen Mingyun also knew that he was escorting him, which is why he had such a good time.

"Hey, Cheng Tingyu, I have a song I want to sing for you." She was in a good mood and couldn't help humming a little tune.

"Sing, I'll listen." The man tilted his head.

"I'm like a fish in your lotus pond, just to be with you—" She suddenly remembered "Moonlight in the Lotus Pond", mainly because this sentence is quite suitable for the occasion.

He was indeed a pond when he was hunting in the jungle, and she was a swimming fish.

"I can't remember the next words." She blinked, got stuck, and changed to humming.

"Kill all the prey?" Cheng Tingyu listened attentively, and after asking her to hum it again, she added these words according to the tune.

Wen Mingyun was taken aback for a moment, but couldn't help laughing.

Although she didn't remember the original lyrics clearly, the last four words were "Bright and White Moonlight". The lyrics of "Moonlight in the Lotus Pond" are beautiful and catchy, and the tune is also very magical, so it is widely sung.

But the original hazy and graceful beauty was changed by Cheng Tingyu so casually, and it directly became murderous.

"It's a good change. We were in the dense forest today, and we did a lot of killing." She couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

Seeing her laughing heartily, the man couldn't help curling the corners of his lips, and even hummed those two lines happily.

"I'm like a fish in your lotus pond, just to kill all the prey with you..."

Wen Mingyun didn't hum the following content, so Cheng Tingyu hummed these two lines over and over again, like a monk chanting scriptures.

When the fifth princess came here on horseback, she saw the couple laughing and singing, which was quite interesting.

"Hey, you two hid in the dense forest and didn't come out for a long time. I thought you were going to do something happy, but you are singing here!" The horse under the fifth princess had not stopped, and she couldn't help teasingstand up.

"We are very excited now, aren't you happy to sing?" Wen Mingyun raised his chin and immediately retorted.

The fifth princess swept over the two of them, and then looked into the forest, her eyes were somewhat subtle.

"What's the joy of singing? This is a dense forest. Although it is silent, there are countless prey lurking in the dark, which is full of danger. With the sky as the bed and the ground as the seat, you can obviously do more happy things. Keeping them is tense and exciting."The fifth princess waved her hands at them with an inscrutable look.

The couple on the opposite side looked at each other and instantly understood what the fifth princess meant.

Wen Mingyun showed a somewhat disgusted expression, curled his lips and said: "I said, Your Royal Highness, you really want to be happy. The weeds are overgrown here, and the ground is covered with the blood of prey. There is no interest in this kind of place. Next timePick a good place."

The fifth princess is really designed to not collapse. This place looks a lot like a murder scene, and it is impossible to be comfortable at all.

"Aren't I afraid of your husband and wife, who have special preferences? There is no shortage of weird people in this world." The fifth princess curled her lips, as if they were such people.

"We are not surprised!" Wen Mingyun argued hard.

The fifth princess shifted her gaze and immediately stared at their prey. The guards were all carrying prey on their horses, and the most eye-catching one was the leopard.

"What kind of arrow technique is this? It took so many shots to hit the leopard, and the leopard didn't escape?" She saw that the arrows on the leopard were all shot crookedly, and it seemed that it was very difficult to catch it. According to common sense, the leopard is quiteAgile animals, it is difficult to catch their tracks without an arrow.

"I was quite nervous at the time." Wen Mingyun said softly.

"Wow, as expected of Ruyi, I actually hunted and killed a leopard alone. I only hunted large beasts with the help of my father before." The fifth princess changed her tone and raised her hands to applaud instead.

"Why do you have two attitudes, Your Highness the Princess?" Cheng Tingyu couldn't help teasing.

The fifth princess squinted at her, and said quite disgustingly: "At first, I thought it was you, a worthless person, who shot a whole leopard into a sieve. Of course I disliked you. You are tall and big, if youIf it’s not useful, it’s still Ruyi who suffers. But if it’s Ruyi, she can still hunt and kill leopards by herself with her weak strength. I just want to applaud her. What’s the problem?”

She engaged in double standards openly and aboveboard, which was completely irrefutable.

"The princess is right. I think you have something to say, I'll go elsewhere first." Cheng Tingyu cupped his fists at them, then pulled the reins and left.

The fifth princess looked at the back of him turning around neatly, and couldn't help boasting a few words: "Don't look at Cheng Wenji's poor health, this is really discerning."

As soon as she finished her praise, she saw Cheng Tingyu who hadn't gone far, suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth, and coughed a few times.

Immediately she frowned dissatisfiedly: "Hey, this poor man can't even ride a horse fast. If you come hunting with him, can you really hunt something? Isn't it all shot by the guards? Can he raise a horse?"Bow and arrow?"

The fifth princess was obviously very concerned about Cheng Tingyu's body, so she asked several questions in a row, leaving Wen Mingyun in a daze.

"It's okay, there are still a few years to live anyway." Wen Mingyun said casually.

"What's the use of living alone? If he has been so worthless, can he really make you happy? Could it be that he's finished before he tastes it?" The fifth princess said very dissatisfied.

"Others only care about whether you are a widow or not, but handkerchiefs don't matter. You can change a man after he dies. I only worry about whether he can bring you happiness!" She said seriously.

Wen Mingyun couldn't laugh at all. After the fifth princess reminded her, she realized that her widow's dream was shattered.

As for Cheng Tingyu's superb riding skills just now, he is not only safe and healthy, but also strong and strong, far exceeding ordinary people. If there is no accident, how many years will he live.

"Can I still be happy?" Wen Mingyun asked in a deep voice, his face full of disbelief.

She can't be a widow anymore, can she still be at ease?

Although Cheng Tingyu seems to be more reliable than other ancient men, and he is not too pedantic, but people will change. If Cheng Tingyu gets older and has a stronger desire for control, and becomes the kind of greasy man with high self-esteem, sheIt must be a bad day.

The reason why she chose to marry Cheng Tingyu was due to many factors, the most important of which was that he was not in good health and would not live long, so she would be a widow when he died.

As for the stepson's filial piety, and Cheng Yan's reputation is not good, if he dares to make himself unhappy, Wen Mingyun will definitely do something to make his reputation even worse.

At that time, she just needs to close the door and live her own life, with numerous servants, piles of gold and silver, happy like a fairy.

But now these good things can only be thought about in dreams at night. Seeing that Cheng Tingyu is as strong as a cow in private, she feels complicated.

Wen Mingyun was thinking that he could no longer be a widow, so his happiness was not fixed, but the fifth princess thought she was just lamenting the misfortune of her intercourse, and immediately looked at her with pity.

"Oh, my poor Ruyi, Cheng Tingyu's sickly look doesn't look good. What can you do, I advised you to choose Cao Xiaogou, but you didn't, you recognized his face.A man can't rely on his face alone, although I also like a man with a good-looking face, but if it's not a man with a strong face, I will definitely not want it."

The fifth princess rubbed her back instantly, showing sympathy.

Hearing this, Wen Mingyun couldn't help coughing lightly: "Not really."

She remembered that Cheng Tingyu had protested before, and when the fifth princess compared him with Cao Bingzhou, she would speak up for him.

"Okay, okay, you don't have to speak for him, I know you'll be embarrassed when you talk about this kind of thing. Don't worry, I have a solution, just wait for me for a few days!"

Before she could continue, the fifth princess spoke in a considerate and authentic manner.

"I came to you not for this matter, but for Ye Lisha."

Wen Mingyun was immediately full of interest: "Is there any progress in her affairs?"

"No, the investigation by the Northern Wei Mission was so motivating, but there was no progress. How long has passed? Even if Jin Yiwei has three heads and six arms, no evidence can be found. The people behind it are very clean. Those seven or eight mad dogs are simplyThe ownerless one suddenly appeared from the alley, and the Northern Wei Dynasty envoy brought the dog's corpse and asked almost half of the people in Wangjing City, but no one could tell whose dog it was."

"Occasionally, some people would tell whose dogs they looked like for high rewards, but their dogs were alive and well. They simply admitted their mistakes. Those dogs were beaten to death by them again, and they couldn't speak, and they couldn't tell the murderer.Who it is, I have no idea."

When the fifth princess spoke, she was eloquent, and the gloating expression on her face could not be hidden at all.

"After Ye Lisha came to Beijing, she acted too arrogantly and offended too many people. Whether it was the ladies and wives of officials whose jewelry was robbed by her, or the shopkeepers of Wangjing City, including the real owners of these shops, they allGritting her teeth with hatred behind her back. They are all powerful people, who have never been wronged like this, even if it is not good to torment her directly for the peace talks between the two countries, but this kind of private counterattack can still be done. "

Wen Mingyun couldn't help but analyze that Ye Lisha's arrogant and domineering appearance is still vivid in his memory, and the outrageous things she did are simply beyond description.

The fifth princess immediately sneered: "She just came from the barbarian land, she still can't turn her head around, she thinks Wangjing City is their Northern Wei Dynasty, she just snatched it, she doesn't even want to do any superficial work, she deserves itGet revenge."

"She deserves the revenge, but I feel sorry for those dogs, especially those who have owners. Most of them are good helpers for housekeeping and nursing homes. Now it's all because she is about to be killed, which is an unwarranted disaster." Wen Mingyun recalled the emperor's order, could not help but sigh.

"You don't have to worry about that. After Ye Lisha was bitten, when the Northern Wei Dynasty mission began to investigate, there were rumors that they wanted to kill all the dogs in the city to avenge Ye Lisha. Most of themWhen the dog owners heard about it, they all sent their puppies back to the countryside, and they couldn't find a few in the city." The fifth princess said indifferently.

"Really, didn't you just say this to comfort me?" Wen Mingyun didn't believe it.

"Of course it's true. What did I lie to you for? Jin Yiwei mentioned this matter when he reported this morning. Just because of a rumor, they wondered if it had something to do with the knights. Maybe the knights couldn't bear to see these things.The dogs are all dead, that's why they released these words to let everyone prepare in advance. So they also went to track down the source of the rumors."

"Hero?" Wen Mingyun was puzzled.

The fifth princess immediately raised her head, and explained quite seriously: "Let Ye Lisha fall from a height when she was most proud, and throw her into the eighteenth level of hell, isn't that a chivalrous man? GratitudeIt is clear that the kindness and enmity are what chivalrous men do."

"That's indeed a chivalrous man. Did Jin Yiwei track down the source of the rumor?"

"Fuck the investigation, Jin Yiwei was so busy that he didn't even touch the ground. During this hunt, Puppy Cao didn't show up at all. Jin Yiwei only has one deputy commander and two subordinates. How do we track down these three people? They are just afraid that they won't find anything.Punishment, so I have to find some excuses to make up things, it sounds like there is a new development, but it is nothing." The fifth princess curled her lips, very disdainful.

She has been favored since she was a child, and unless it is about the rise and fall of the country, she will not force her to avoid suspicion when dealing with government affairs.

After so many years, even though she is a woman and cannot accept the education of the prince, she also understands a lot of truths. Among them, the courtiers deal with the emperor's errands, which are frequent tricks, and they can't wait to use all eighteen kinds of martial arts.

When Wen Mingyun heard this, he knew that the dogs in Wangjing City had not been greatly affected, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is this the end of the matter?" She asked curiously.

"No, the Northern Wei Dynasty is like a mad dog, constantly biting, pulling on Lord Cai for a while, and saying that General Wu Ming is also suspected of it, as if knowing that Ye Lisha won't survive, and dragging someone into the water to avoid losses." FiveThe princess shook her head.

Seeing her gritted teeth, Wen Mingyun immediately asked, "Did the emperor believe it?"

The fifth princess looked at her with helpless eyes, and then sighed.

"I don't know, my father told Jin Yiwei to continue the investigation. He knew that he couldn't find out, but he still wanted to continue, which proves that this is not the result he wanted."

"It doesn't matter whether he believes it or not, but what purpose he wants to use it to achieve." The fifth princess said with emotion.

This sentence sounded casual, but Wen Mingyun was terrified.

Ye Lisha was bitten by a dog before she entered the palace, neither General Wu Ming nor Master Cai Hou had any reason to deal with her.

After all, the aristocratic family wanted her dead because they were afraid that she would become a concubine who would harm the country, but before she entered the palace, she was just a princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so there was absolutely no need to deal with her.

As for General Wu Ming, he really hated the Northern Wei Dynasty and wished that all the members of the Northern Wei court would die, but if he really did something, he would not target Ye Lisha, and would most likely kill Ye Liyang directly.

"I said it casually, so you can listen casually. Jin Yiwei said that they should start looking for people who have enemies with Ye Lisha. Although they are tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, and there are too many targets, if Jin Yiwei really wants to investigate thoroughly.For one thing, it is very difficult for anything to escape their eyes, after all, they have a lot of secret means."

"I want to remind you, don't be afraid when the time comes, because Ye Lisha hates you so much because of that fake tiara, I'm afraid Jin Yiwei will also investigate you. If they resort to extraordinary means to force you to confess, you can send a letter toMe." The fifth princess exhorted softly.

Wen Mingyun was moved immediately: "Pingting, you really are the best to me."

When the fifth princess heard what she said, she immediately raised her head and raised her chest, looking proud.

"That's right, I'm more reliable than your Cheng Wenji!"

Wen Mingyun chuckled, and after the two looked at each other, they raised their hands and clapped their hands.

The evening was getting closer and closer, and the two of them left the dense forest immediately without saying anything more.

The luggage had already been packed, and the tents that had been set up on the third and outer floors had been put away, and the carriages of each household were lined up in an orderly manner.

Of course, the royal chariot was the first to leave. Ye Lisa's hydrophobia became more and more obvious, and she had already started to have symptoms of throat congestion and difficulty breathing.

At this stage, she is extremely afraid of light, water and sound. In fact, it is not easy to move, but she cannot always live in a tent in the hunting ground.

She was wrapped tightly in the cloak and carried into the carriage, but even so, the people around could still hear the whimpering sound coming from inside the cloak, like the cry of a small animal, which sounded frightening.

Cheng Tingyu and Wen Mingyun sat in the carriage, while Cheng Yan followed closely behind the carriage on a horse.

During the five-day hunt, he succeeded in hunting the black bear on the first day, and made people look up to him. In the next few days, many members of the aristocratic families made friends with him intentionally or unintentionally, and even had the courage to kill him.The little girls in the village looked at her secretly, and some wives moved their minds to observe him carefully, wanting to see if he was qualified to be their son-in-law.

All of a sudden, there were a lot of flowers around him, and it was extremely lively.

Even Wen Mingyun was held back by the wives to speak, and both inside and outside the words were to spy on Cheng Yan.

This made her sigh with emotion, whether in ancient times or modern times, a man's reputation is really easy to clean up.

Apparently before, Cheng Yan was a well-known demon king in Wangjing. When any lady mentioned him, she would frown, saying that he was only fourteen years old, so violent and fierce, he would beat people often in the future, and be his wifeAbsolutely no good end.

But it was just a royal hunt, he was rewarded by the emperor, and he transformed into a young talent with a promising future.

Countless people said that he was good, as if he was beaten and escorted back by Jin Yiwei before, and these embarrassing things did not exist.

Even if someone mentions it, it's just a joke, and he said lightly: Young people just need to be more impulsive, and now they are enlightened, and the prodigal son will never change his mind.

Those black histories before have all become the talk of praise today.

If it were a woman, not to mention being escorted back by Jin Yiwei, even if she was hugged by a strange man on the street, she would probably be remembered for a lifetime, even if the woman saved Sheng Jia in the future, then this gossip would still be followed for a lifetime.

The carriage swayed, and the families gradually dispersed. Wen Mingyun kept looking out the window.

"Dong dong" was knocked on the carriage, and Wen Mingyun lifted the curtain, and saw Cheng Yan riding a horse beside him, lowering his head and asking her, "Do you have something to do?"

Wen Mingyun blinked, shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Cheng Yan clicked his tongue, as if he was a little dissatisfied with her answer: "Speak up if you have something to say, if it's not easy for me, you can tell Dad."

"I've said it's fine, you're not the roundworm in my stomach, don't make wild guesses." Wen Mingyun fell off the car curtain directly.

"Who cares to be the roundworm in your stomach!" Cheng Yan's voice came out in despair.

But he didn't wait for Wen Mingyun's reply, and rode away angrily.

Cheng Tingyu didn't speak until there was no sound outside, "Madam, is something on your mind?"

Wen Mingyun rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Why do you also learn from him?"

"Madam always looks out of the window, probably because she is afraid that what we say will be heard by others. Don't worry, it's safe now, you can say whatever you want." Cheng Tingyu pointed to the car curtain.

Wen Mingyun coughed lightly, and sure enough, she still couldn't underestimate the father and son. She was indeed observing just now, thinking that she would wait until there were fewer carriages around.

"Is Ye Lisa bitten by a dog related to you?" She went straight to the point.

"Relevant. I sent someone to look for those dogs." The man readily admitted.

Wen Mingyun was startled, and immediately sat next to him, "How dare you? Although Ye Lisha does some things that are not on the stage, she is the princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty. If you move her, it is the same as moving the Northern Wei Dynasty. Didn't you see that?"Many people hate her so much that they grit their teeth and dare not act rashly?"

"Why didn't I dare? She dared to push you into the fire pit, and she was indecent when she came and didn't go back." Cheng Tingyu asked back, with an attitude of complete indifference.

"Shooting the head of the bird, even the soldiers from Northern Xinjiang came back, and they were safe with the Northern Wei Mission."

"You mean Wu Ming is a coward?" The man lowered his head and asked in surprise.

Wen Mingyun immediately pinched him: "What nonsense, how could I mean it? How could the dignified God of War be a coward! I am worried about you. If Jin Yiwei handles it seriously, will he find any clues and involve you. The most important thing in everythingI'm afraid that a hundred secrets will be neglected."

She used to like to watch detective dramas. No matter how perfect the crime is, the loophole will be found in the end, and then it will be wiped out, and the loophole must be extremely small.

Cheng Tingyu couldn't help laughing out loud after being pinched by her.

"I know, don't worry, they can't find evidence. Wu Ming is indeed not a coward. If his wife is threatened like this, she will definitely retaliate like this. Ye Lisha dares to let a crazy butcher harm you, I willHow dare you let the mad dog go back to harm you. Facts have proved that the dog I picked is better than the person she picked." The man held her hand, took the opportunity to clasp his fingers with her, and explained in a soft voice.

It was just that when he said the last sentence, the corners of his mouth were raised, his eyebrows were curved, and he showed a triumphant smile.
