Chapter 31 The Subtle Relationship

Gu Mingzhu went to the hunting ground in the suburbs of Beijing with Gu Xiurong and Xu Jue's guard, Jiuyue.

The royal hunting ground is vast, surrounded by mountains from a distance, and it is full of greenery.

A total of more than a dozen people came to this hunt, and there were indeed many female relatives among them.

Gu Mingzhu followed Gu Xiurong, rode in, and came alone from a distance.

"Xu Shizi, Vice Admiral Gu." The young man was in high spirits, apparently just warmed up.

Xu Jue said lightly: "I was delayed on the road, let's go."

The four of them drove side by side, and the man asked: "This girl looks unfamiliar, who is the daughter of?"

"Go back to my little prince, she is my sister."

"Oh?" The young man turned his head and smiled, "So it's Vice General Gu's sister."

Gu Mingzhu nodded: "I have seen the little prince."

"She was born with a pretty face, no wonder Yun Zhao regards her as a treasure."

The interest in his tone was all too obvious.

Gu Xiurong and Gu Mingzhu both stared.

Just as Gu Xiurong was about to speak, Xu Jue took out a small packet of oiled paper from his bosom, handed it to Gu Mingzhu, and said, "I brought some of your favorite snacks from the palace, and try the cooking skills of the imperial chef."

Gu Mingzhu took the oil paper under the watchful eyes of everyone, and said with a smile, "Thank you Brother Xu."

Xu Jue smiled, turned his head, and said to the man, "Ion Yu, what did you just say?"

He called the Taoist name directly, looking unhappy, and Ion Yu immediately pulled his face down: "No... I didn't say anything..."

Xu Jue stared at him with a half-smile, "Are you scolding me for being deaf?"

Ion Yu's complexion changed, and he immediately grimaced: "It's my mouth, I said the wrong thing."

He turned around and bowed his head towards Gu Mingzhu, "Miss Gu, please forgive me for my offensive words."

Gu Mingzhu smiled gently, and said: "The little prince doesn't know that Yun Zhao and I have broken off the engagement. It's understandable, but it's just a gentleman's demeanor. Did the little prince have been idle for a long time, and even his knowledge was wasted."

Ion Yu secretly hated his molars itching, but he could only laugh along with him.

Xu Jue didn't bother to look at him anymore, and said, "Let's go."

After walking far away, Gu Xiurong turned cold and said, "It's really a dog's eyes that look down on people."

Gu Mingzhu took it for granted and said: "This is the way of the world, he has a good father."

Gu Xiurong's eyes were gloomy and he didn't say a word.

Gu Mingzhu looked at his expression and said: "Although he has a good father, he still apologized obediently."

Gu Xiurong said: "It's not because of A Jue."

Speaking of this, Gu Mingzhu couldn't help being curious. Logically speaking, Xu Jue has been stationed at the border all year round, so he shouldn't have much contact with the children of these aristocratic families, but why is Li Yu so afraid of Xu Jue?
She thought about it and asked.

Jiuyue, who has been following behind, said: "The girl doesn't know something, not only Ion Yu, but there is no child in the Jiangling City who is not afraid of the son."

"Oh?" Gu Mingzhu turned her head curiously: "Why?"

Seeing her in high spirits, Jiuyue drove her horse forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has a big temper. If you provoke him, he will beat anyone. Especially the year before last, when he stayed in Beijing for two months, he beat up the sons of aristocratic families so badly." .”

big temper?
Gu Mingzhu glanced at Xu Jue suspiciously.

He has a calm temperament and a good manner, so how can he say that he has a big temper?
Gu Mingzhu said again: "It's all the royal family and nobles who are beating up, so no one in the palace cares about it?"

"Care? How? The Xu family has only one seedling. If it is really broken because of these people, the old prince will definitely not let it go. Moreover, it is a quarrel between teenagers. If it really gets to the front of the palace, whoever loses will be ashamed. "

The four rode forward and soon reached the center of the paddock.

Someone is riding and shooting on the field.

The man in the arena was dressed in purple, with a black belt and blindfolded, firing several swords at the bull's-eye.

All three arrows hit.

"Good!" Someone in the field immediately cheered: "As expected of Ah Zhao!"

Gu Xiurong frowned: "I didn't say that Yunzhao is also here to hunt this time."

He looked sideways at Gu Mingzhu, who was looking at the field, and said, "Otherwise, forget it?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "Forget it, Jiang Ling is not too small, he is not too big, we will see him sooner or later, we can't avoid him all the time. I have already prepared to accompany you to the hunting ground today."

"Brother Gu!" Someone waved at Gu Xiurong from a distance.

Gu Xiurong was about the same age as them, so it was hard not to get along with each other, so he led Gu Mingzhu forward after a few instructions.

Gu Xiurong was introduced by others and got to know everyone in the field one by one.

Not far away, Xu Jue and Jiuyue stood on horseback.

I watched it quietly for a while.

Jiuyue said: "Shizi, when will you be so stupid to catch up with the girl!"

Xu Jue looked at him sideways, Jiuyue was someone who rarely knew what was on his mind.

Jiuyue said again: "At the beginning, the girl had a marriage contract, and the son behaved righteously. It's fine if you don't want to be a person who steals love. Now that people are right under your nose, why don't you move at all?"

Xu Jue was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid of scaring her."

"Scaring her? My son, don't wait until someone reaches out."

"If she treats me like an older brother..."

"How will you know if you don't try? Chasing girls depends on being shameless!" Jiuyue said loudly.

Xu Jue remained silent on the spot, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Yun Zhaozheng striding towards Gu Mingzhu's direction.

He frowned slightly, and drove forward.

Gu Mingzhu looked at Yun Zhao who was striding forward, pretending she couldn't see her, and turned her head away, Xu Jue had already arrived, and said to her, "They are going to hunt, I will take you around the paddock."

All four looked up at him, then at Gu Mingzhu.

Xu Jue didn't realize it, and said to Gu Xiurong as if nothing had happened: "I will take Wanwan away."

Gu Xiurong didn't think much about it, and felt that Yun Zhao's presence was inappropriate, so he nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll leave Wanwan to you."

Gu Mingzhu was really taken away by Xu Jue.

The news that Yun Zhao and Gu's family had broken off their engagement was spread in just a few days. There were different opinions about the specific reasons, and no one dared to ask the parties involved. Now that Gu Xiurong and Yun Zhao met, some people secretly felt a headache.

Soon the discerning people persuaded them to go their own way, and dispersed to hunt.

Xu Jue and Gu Mingzhu were riding horses. She sat quietly on the horseback. The pink and white dress complemented today's hair accessories. The spirit of a girl.

It's strange, how can she be so beautiful?
Xu Jue thought to himself.

Gu Mingzhu looked around, smelled the fresh air, and said, "It's agreed to hunt, why don't you go?"

Xu Jue said: "I just promised to come to the hunting ground, but I didn't say I want to hunt. This place is not far from Qinglong Temple. Let me show you around?"

"Alright."

The two rode on horseback and turned around, and arrived at the gate of the mountain temple half an hour later.

Tie up the horse, step up the steps, and enter the hall.

There was nothing wrong at first, so Gu Mingzhu lit a stick of incense and knelt in the hall to pray for blessings.

Xu Jue never believed in ghosts and ghosts, but the sound of the bell in his ears was faint and loud, and there were a few pilgrims around, and there was silence in the noise. He couldn't help but think of how he met her in Licheng that night.

In front of the mountain gate, there was a sudden sound of fright from the people.

When Xu Jue turned his head, a group of officers and soldiers were rushing up the steps, and the leader shouted loudly: "Enclose the temple, and no one will be allowed to escape!"

He is from Jingzhao Prefecture.

Xu Jue didn't move. Since the Jingzhao Mansion had been alarmed, it meant that something was serious.

The leader quickly stepped up the steps of the courtyard: "The rest of the people, let me search them one by one carefully, if you let them go, they will all be eaten and walked around!"
