C126 (1/2)
”Sister Xue, you're awesome!” Tuoba Yu's eyes shone as she watched Yue Luoxue bow and shoot. A wild rabbit had arrived.
Riding horses had always been something that Tuoba Yu had yearned for, and now that she was riding a horse, in order to take care of her body, the horse could only walk leisurely. Tuoba Yu was angry: ”Brother, are you faster too, you can't catch up to Sister Xue!”
”Don't worry, she's just going to pick up the prey. I'll roast some meat for you later.” Tuoba Hong dotingly looked at his little sister.
Tuoba Yu's blue eyes became brighter, and she shouted towards Yue Luoxue who was riding back: ”Sister Xue, hunt a few more, brother wants to roast more meat!”
Yue Luoxue waved the bow in her hand to show that she understood. She turned and looked at her brother.
”Brother, Sister Xue is so kind, you must definitely do your best to catch up and be my sister-in-law!” Tuoba Yu said as she clenched her fists and cheered Tuoba Hong on.
Tuoba Hong said with a straight face, ”Isn't this still sister-in-law? I think you don't even want your big brother.”
”Hehe, I like Sister Xue.” Tuoba Yu giggled. She liked Yue Luoxue and envied him as well.
Tuoba Hong looked at Yue Luoxue and said softly, ”Rest assured, I will definitely try my best to take her away to be your sister-in-law!”
”Look, I've hunted a wild goat!” Yue Luoxue spurred her horse over, looking rather valiant.
Tuoba Yu quickly urged: ”Brother, the rest is up to you. I want to eat barbecue!”
The three of them found a place with water and Tuoba Hong was in charge of handling the prey. Yue Luoxue inspected Tuoba Yu's body and found nothing wrong with him.
”The meat your brother roasted is delicious, so you can't eat too much later. It's hard to digest after eating.”
”Hmph, brother is too biased. Sister Xue has already eaten brother's roast meat, but I haven't!” Tuoba Yu pouted, her face filled with unhappiness.
Yue Luoxue laughed, ”Alright, let your brother roast more for you in the future.”
Tuoba Yu's bright eyes looked at Yue Luoxue: ”Big Sister Xue, then in the future, can you come and see me with big brother?”
”Of course you can.” Yue Luoxue agreed, but in her heart she thought, this girl's eyes was too hard to refuse, next time I will see if it's possible.
Seeing that Tuoba Hong had already lit a fire and was about to put his meat on a rack, a bird cry sounded in the sky, and it was only when the eagle soared across the sky and landed on Tuoba Hong's arm that it stopped.
Tuoba Hong opened the slip of paper on the eagle's leg, his expression slightly changed as he looked at Tuoba Yu apologetically: ”Yu'er, I can't roast meat for you today, how about you make up for it next time?”
Yue Luoxue knew that something had happened, so she smiled and said: ”If you have anything to do, go and busy yourself, I'll roast some meat for Yu'er!” She approached Tuoba Hong and asked softly, ”What happened?”
”General Bhaer has been captured.” Tuoba Hong also lowered his voice.
Yue Luoxue frowned slightly. The Baltic Family was the Battle King's Palace's most loyal subordinate, so it seemed that the North Qi Emperor had still made his move. He gave him a comforting look, ”You can go back first, don't fall for Liu Chengfeng's trick, I'll send Yu'er back.”
Tuoba Hong could only nod his head and promise his that he would bring her his favorite pastries next time before he left.
Tuoba Yu's eyes drooped as she stared at the withered yellow grass on the ground, and suddenly asked. ”Sister Xue, is there something you're hiding from me?”
Yue Luoxue smiled lightly, and said in a serious tone: ”Yu'er, I know you are a sensible girl, and I don't want to lie to you. It is true that we are hiding things from you, but you must know that your mother and brother have done so for your own good.”
”I know. Actually, ever since I woke up, I had a feeling that I wasn't at the manor.” Tuoba Yu said in a slightly lonely manner, ”But I can tell that mother is much happier now, that's why I pretended that I didn't know anything.”
Looking at Tuoba Yu's somewhat pale face, Yue Luoxue knew that this girl's body was weak, even more so than ordinary people. Her thoughts were clear as well, and she reached out to pull Tuoba Yu's hand. ”It's good that you understand.”
”Yes!” Tuoba Yu raised her eyes and smiled at Yue Luoxue, ”Let's go back, next time I want you and big brother to roast meat for me!”
”Alright, I promise you!” Yue Luoxue nodded and brought Tuoba Yu back to the village before riding her horse away. She did not know what changes had occurred in the North Qi.
”Hey, have you heard that General Baltic is actually a traitor?!”
”Who said it? General Baltic is the one who protects the North Qi together with our Guardian God Elder. How could he be a traitor!”
”It's true! Isn't my son in the army? I heard that he found evidence of General Baltic communicating with the enemy. He was captured during the contact!”
”Really?” General Baltic is the Battle King's man, how can the Battle King's man be a traitor to the enemy! ”
