Chapter 60 Hunting
After Wu Yan and her party walked away, Zhang Lie reported behind Xiao Xupo: "My lord, do you want to catch up?"

"Forget it, let's go hunting." Gong Ziling rode Kamikaze, turned around and headed for Qingluan Mountain.Zhang Lie quickly got on his horse and followed behind Gong Ziling.

The two people behind Xiao Ranpo are Gong Ziling and Zhang Lie.Wu Yan was not in the mansion in the morning, Gong Ziling always felt empty in her heart, and she was not in the mood to eat lunch.He has only known Wu Yan for a few days, but it seems that he has known each other for several years, decades, and he is used to having her by his side.

He was really bored, so he called Zhang Lie to hunt in the south of the city.As soon as he walked to the side of the small gentle slope, he heard someone's voice behind him.Zhang Lie walked to the side of the road and looked down, and found that it was Wu Yan and the three who were just about to say hello, but they were pulled behind the slope by Gong Ziling and hid.

At this time Zhang Lie saw Gong Ziling walking all the way and looking back, he also felt funny in his heart, obviously he cared about others, but he tried his best to cover it up.This prince who cares about face, if he refuses to reveal his feelings in the end, he may suffer in the future.

In the end, he couldn't bear to see Gong Ziling's out-of-control look, so he suggested: "My lord, why don't you follow and have a look."

But Gong Ziling said coldly: "I've already talked and went hunting, and there are so many words." Wu Yan probably didn't want him to appear, she was always afraid that others would know the relationship between him and her.Thinking about it this way made me even more upset.

Zhang Lie shrank his neck and remained silent.Seeing Gong Ziling's quiver in a blink of an eye, he asked in amazement: "Hey, my lord, why are you willing to change your quiver? The quiver before was given to you by the late emperor when you won the first prize in hunting for the first time. Isn't it like being a baby all the time, taking it with you every time you go out?"

Gong Ziling held up the quiver made by Wu Yan in front of her, and said, "Don't you think it looks noble?"

There was a roe running by in front of him, Gong Ziling drew his bow and shot it with an arrow.Feeling upset, the arrow missed the target without even touching the deer's fur. This was probably the first time since he was able to hunt after he became an adult.The silly deer didn't understand what was going on, so it stopped, tilted its head and looked at Gongziling with its big innocent eyes for a long time before bouncing away.

Gong Ziling only smiled wryly, remembering the first time she met Wu Yan.He was reviewing official documents that afternoon when he suddenly wanted to go out to get some fresh air.So he rode on Kamikaze, went out from the side gate, and went straight to Qingluan Mountain.He didn't tell anyone where he went, because he didn't expect to spend a night on the mountain.

After wandering around Qingluan Mountain for a while, he was about to go back home when he suddenly found two wolves.He drew his bow to shoot, but the two wolves ran away separately, as if they were planning to do something.Curious, he left the kamikaze alone and followed one of the wolves on foot.

The wolf stopped after a few steps, and crouched in the grass. Not far away, a girl was staggering towards this direction.Gong Ziling immediately understood what was going on, and hurriedly climbed up a big tree to check for the other wolf's trace.

Unexpectedly, the girl stopped when she walked under the big tree where he was, and sat down under the big tree in an unladylike manner.Thinking of this, Gong Ziling couldn't help showing a smile on his face, but then, that smile gradually dimmed, and finally disappeared.From the very beginning, he felt that the future between him and Wu Yan seemed to be shrouded in fog, not clear at all.But now, he felt even more uneasy, and the uneasiness was expanding little by little, as if a catastrophe was imminent.

But Wu Yan didn't feel uneasy, she was walking leisurely on the mountain road.I learned in advance that this area is called Yanyu, as the name suggests, it is a place rich in salt.

Walking along the mountain road, there are some scattered villages and scattered farmland along the way, sparsely populated.Climbing up a higher mountain, the eyes suddenly open up.Different from the quietness and silence before, this side is bustling and prosperous, with cars and horses rumbling, and people's voices buzzing. It turns out that this is the largest salt well in the south.

Biwu is rich in salt, which not only supplies the expenses of several surrounding provincial governments, but also pays tribute to the capital every year.

Wu Yan wondered inwardly, there were many strong young men in the salt well, but no one had been heard missing.Did they hide it and didn't report it, or was it that the so-called ghost messenger dared not bully because of the large number of people?
