Competing

Chapter 284 The girl in red
In Kuaiji Mountain, in the river valley, King Yin Xu of Yue was resting here with nineteen guards.The sound of horseshoes sounded from a distance, and then I saw forty or fifty riding Juechen coming, and the target destination was the river valley where Yue Wang Yinxu was!

Su An, who is the commander of the guards, was suddenly very nervous. Now Yin Xu is traveling in micro-clothes, with only a dozen personal guards around him, and the security line is very loose.So even the slightest disturbance will make people nervous.

Seeing the cavalry gradually approaching, Su An's face was solemn, showing a look of vigilance!
Yue Wang Yinxu was calm and leisurely, still sitting by the fire, turning over the roasted venison, sniffing it lightly, full of praise.

"Bozhou, come back to eat venison, it's delicious!"

Hearing King Yue's call, Su An woke up suddenly, he was a little too impatient to act like an enemy.Yin Xu said just now that the outside is loose and the inside is tight. It seems that you are too nervous and not calm enough.Otherwise, there was nothing to do, and the other party would become suspicious after seeing this situation. If Yin Xu's identity was exposed, it would be very bad.

Only then did Su An return, and arranged for several guards to be on guard carefully, while observing and confirming the identity of the person who came.As for myself, I stayed next to Yin Xu, shared the cooked food, and kept everything simple outside, so there was naturally a lot less fuss about etiquette.

A moment later, someone galloped over, and Su An realized that he was a little too nervous.There were about 50 or [-] people who came, also carrying bows and arrows, and immediately hung the prey they had just shot. It seemed that these people had the "same purpose" as me, and they all came to hunt in spring!
But the size of this group of people alone is really not small, there are as many as four to fifty people, all riding horses, and the quality of the horses is also very good.It was even faintly on top of the "specially selected" horses that Yin Xu and others were riding now, so when these people appeared, Su An was a little surprised, guessing in his heart that they might be members of a big family in Sanyin.

This group of people also seemed to be exhausted from the heat, and they came to this valley stream to enjoy the cool and rest, so it was convenient for them to rein in their horses and stop when they arrived.A silver bell-like laughter sounded: "Second brother, it's cool here, let's rest here for a while!" The one who went first was the woman in red, who was in her teens, dressed quite enchantingly, and said It is also very hearty to speak.

"Okay!" There was a young man in his early twenties who went ahead, and when he heard the girl in red say this, he immediately agreed and said with a smile, "Since the younger sister said yes, everything is fine! "In his words, he seemed to love the girl in red very much!
Immediately the young man turned around and ordered: "Rest here, hurry up and get ready!"

"Yes!"

A kind of servants got off their horses one after another, made fire, fetched water, led the horses, and laid out the seats... They were so busy, they all moved around the two young men, a man and a woman in the middle, like stars holding the moon.It can be seen that it should be the young master and lady of the rich family who went out to play, and the servant followed...

The group of red-clothed girls over there also saw Yin Xu and the others, and seeing that the outfits were similar, they probably came to shoot and hunt, so they didn't care.On the contrary, the young man in Chinese clothes took a look and was quite surprised. Who are these people who questioned in his heart?Of course, they didn't know each other, so they didn't care too much!

The woman in red just sat down, took a drink from the water bag, and after taking two sips, she passed it to the man beside her, and said cheerfully: "Second brother, try it, this wine tastes good!"

It turns out that there is no wine bag, it is rare for a woman to drink alcohol so boldly!

The man took the water bag, drank a couple of gulps and said, "The rice wine brewed from the water in Yuechi is really good..."

Yuechi, located outside the capital city of Yue State, is a lake with beautiful waters. After several years, the lake has changed a lot.Thousands of years later, probably during the Song Dynasty, one of the waters got a name - Jianhu Lake!
The girl in red smiled and said, "That's right, the wine brewed with Yuechi water has a unique taste!"

Seeing the girl in red smiling like a flower, the young man tentatively asked: "How is it? Little sister, did you have fun today?"

Hearing what the young man said, the woman in red suddenly looked sad, and said in a low voice: "Happy, but... not just today, what I want is to be happy all the time, so I don't want anyone to force me to do it anymore." The things I like, especially the lifelong events, are even more unacceptable..."

The young man was also quite helpless, he squeezed out a wry smile, the family wanted to arrange a marriage for the younger sister.But this wayward little girl was obedient no matter what, she didn't eat or drink at home for several days, she was really worried that she would get bored, so she had no choice but to take her out for a walk to relax.Before leaving, the elders in the family specially asked to persuade the woman in red when she was happy.Alas, he is also in a dilemma. He knows that the younger sister doesn't like it, but for the benefit of the family, he still has to speak up...

"Little sister, Yin Xugui is the king of Yue, and he doesn't say his age. It is said that he looks good, there is nothing wrong..."

The woman in red snorted immediately, and said with disdain: "What can the king of Yue do? He is amazing? I don't like it..."

The young man shook his head helplessly and said, "Little girl...how do you know you don't like it if you've seen it or not?"

The woman in red retorted: "Yes! You have never seen it before, how do you know that I will like it? Just let me marry him?"

The young man shook his head and said: "Little sister, it is said that Yin Xu is only in his 20s, and he can become famous all over the world. He is a prince of the Yue Kingdom, which shows that this person is extraordinary, young and promising! Where is such a good husband-in-law? Where are you going to find it?"

The woman in red said unconvinced: "So what? He is capable, so the King of Yue should marry him?"

The young man shook his head helplessly, and continued to persuade: "Little sister, you are the daughter of my Xu family, so you should think about it for the family. Because of the matter of the Zhou family, the king of Yue must have disliked our family, and now my father has some regrets. Now we have to think about King Yue showing enough sincerity..."

The woman in red said aggrievedly: "Then you want to sacrifice me to him?"

The young man shook his head and said: "Jinxian is for people outside, and my father is also for your own good, if you can enter the palace... But I heard that King Yue came back alone this time, and I didn't hear about his marriage. You don't even have a concubine, if you can enter the palace, you can become the wife of the king of Yue... It was possible to even become the queen of the king of Yue back then. Such a noble status, a noble status... Also, my Xu family also It will become the number one family in the Yue Kingdom..."

The woman in red frowned, she was a little unhappy at once, and said in a deep voice: "It's nice to say, I think about the interests of the family all day long, maybe I think about my feelings? What's so good about Mrs. Yue Wang? She has a noble status. So what? I don't like..."

Young also frowned, and said: "Little sister, don't be self-willed. The King of Yue is young and promising, and he is a rare and good husband. If you marry him, you will have a good home, too, right? Mrs. Yue Wang is not good. Do you know how many women in the Yue Kingdom are eagerly looking forward to being favored by the King of Yue...Why don't you get it right?"

Seeing that the little girl was as stubborn as ever, the young man felt a little helpless, so his words inevitably became a little more rigid.

The woman in red seemed very wronged when she heard this, but he was stubborn and insisted: "A good home? He must be my good home? It's their business that the women of Yue country are looking forward to, and it has nothing to do with me... ...It's not that I'm not enlightened, it's that you are obsessed with money!"

The young man shook his head helplessly and said: "Little sister, you are also a member of the Xu family anyway, and you are obliged to do your part for the safety and interests of the family. This matter has not wronged you, why are you so stubborn? Doting on you too much, making you so willful..."

This woman in red is the jewel in the palm of his family. She has been doted on by her parents, brother and sister-in-law since she was a child, so that she is a bit willful.In addition, his family is one of the largest big families in Shanyin, with great influence, and the lively girl relied on the family power and the favor of the elders to run amok, so that she became more and more savage and self-willed.

Originally, this was nothing, but now because of the waywardness of the woman in red, such important matters related to the interests of the family have also been affected, which is really annoying...

"Second brother...you!" The woman in red suddenly became a little angry, and retorted sharply: "Second brother, this idea is too wishful thinking. Even if I agree, that Yin Xu will definitely accept me? Then let me How do you deal with yourself?"

The young man hurriedly comforted him with earnest words: "If you don't nod your head on this matter, how can you be sent to the palace? Little sister is so beautiful, the king of Yue will look down on him? Don't you have this confidence?"

The red-clothed girl replied: "I hope so, don't wishful thinking, in the end the bamboo basket fetching water will be in vain, and people will be laughed at for nothing!"

Hearing what his sister said, the young man suddenly had a smile on his face, just agree!But he didn't care that the anger on the girl in red's face became more intense...

Yin Xu's status is special, and there are important matters on this trip. Seeing that the appearance of these people has nothing to do with him, he naturally ignores them.As for those people's conversations, because they are far away and covered by the sound of mountains and rivers, they can't hear them naturally, otherwise something will definitely happen...

Yin Xu just ordered his subordinates to leave as soon as possible after eating.Su An saw that this group of people was just passing by and did not pose a threat to the safety of King Yue, so he was no longer so nervous...

The people and horses of the two sides will not get involved with each other by the river valley and stream, and they will rest separately...

But these days, I don't commit crimes, but people come to find fault!

One of the guards washed a slaughtered hare in the stream, and the faint blood floated in the water, and then disappeared without a trace... At the same time, not far away, the subordinates of the girl in red The servant is drawing water from the river...

The girl in red was full of anger, just seeing this scene, she frowned and vented the anger in her heart...
