In September, it has also entered the peak period of autumn harvest, in the fields on both sides of the Wei River, it has been full of full and low-hanging ears of rice, attracting countless birds and birds to fly in the sky on the field, circling down from time to time, falling into the field to peck at the ears of rice that has fully grown and matured, and the men, women and children of all households in the Qin State go into battle together, hurry up to harvest the ears of rice, drive away the birds, showing a busy and lively scene. Because although autumn is a harvest season, it is also the same rainy season, so the ancient folk proverb "harvest is like a wolf" and God grabbing grain, you should be as anxious as a robber coming.

From the high outside of the river, the Wei River is like a jade belt, from the west, the river lifts the willow wind into a line, the breeze blows, although it is the golden autumn season, but the willow branches are still green, the low-hanging willow branches flutter with the breeze, look at it from afar, it is like the verdant smoke floating in the sky.

And at this time on the embankment on the west bank of the Wei River, two dressed girls who are about 20 years old walk side by side, behind the two, each has a maid carrying a long scarf for them, followed by more than 30 women to be served, the women or holding a long-handled feather fan, or holding a wooden zither, or holding a copper pot clay pot, or carrying an incense burner food box, all different, and the attendant is holding a rolled up reed mat, a few dwarf, soft cushions and other things, and a little farther away, there are two teams to guard, each with more than 100 people, holding guns and swords in the distance to guard their line.

In the Golden Autumn Festival, many children of aristocratic families will go out on an outing with their followers, but there are still not many places to send out such a show, but if you know the identities of these two girls, you won't feel any strange, because one of these two girls is the princess of Qin, the eldest daughter of Qin Wangzheng, Hehua, and the other is now the only general of Qin, Mengwu's daughter Meng Ling, it can be said that looking at the entire Qin State, it is true that there is no second pair of girls with such a noble status.

A willow tree stretched out its thick trunk obliquely, splashing the thick shade on a flat grass, and the maids spread the reed mats on the flat grass, and placed copper pots, clay pots, incense burners, food boxes, low tables, soft cushions, and other things on the side of the mat.

And Hehua put up a canopy under the shade of the trees, and looked around on the river embankment, only to see that the two banks were divided into many large squares by countless criss-crossing rivers, ditches, and roads, all of which were endless farmland, with the breeze blowing and the spike waves rolling, and it was indeed the harvest season.

Since the opening of the Zhengguo Canal, the entire Guanzhong Plain has become a fertile field, in the past ten years, more than half of the years are good years, and there is no year of famine, plus the Qin State has already owned the rich land of Bashu, so although in the past ten years, the Qin State has fought again and again, but it has not had much impact on the situation, and there are these two treasures supporting the Qin State.

After a long while, He Hua put down his palm, turned his head to Meng Ling and smiled: "Ling'er, I know that you have always liked to hunt, but unfortunately I don't know how to ride arches and horses at all, so I can't go hunting in the paddock with you, and staying in the palace is really too boring, so I have to ask you to accompany me to hang out on the river embankment, isn't it a little boring." ”

Meng Ling bowed slightly, and said: "The princess said that, it is Meng Ling's luck to be able to accompany the princess on a trip, how can it be boring." ”

He Hua sighed softly and said, "Why do you say such things to me?" I remember when we were young, you weren't like this, at that time we could talk freely, how come now that we have grown up, we have become separated. ”

The Meng family is one of the most important families in the Qin State, and they are deeply trusted by the Qin Wangzheng, so most of the daughters of the Meng family were recruited into the palace by the Qin Wangzheng when they were young, and accompanied the sons of the Qin State who were close to their age to study and have fun together.

And Meng Ling and Hehua are of the same age, and naturally became Hehua's female companion when he was young, when Hehua was just an ordinary princess raised in the deep palace, there was no modern person through the possession, and he didn't understand anything, and Mengling was active by nature since he was a child, and his personality was generous, and he had traveled and hunted with his father and brother, although he was one or two years younger than Hehua, but both knowledge and experience were much higher than Hehua, which brought a lot of freshness to Hehua when he was young, so the two girls also formed a very close handkerchief friend, nothing to talk about, intimate, He Hua often stayed in the palace to stay in the palace, and the two ate and slept together.

However, as the two of them grew older, the difference between monarchs and ministers gradually increased, and after Hehua was possessed by Chen Yajie, his knowledge and experience far exceeded that of Meng Ling, and later showed miracles, and was worshiped as a goddess by the Qin State, which was invisibly enveloped in a layer of divine aura, so when getting along with Meng Ling, there was already a lot of separation.

When Hehua found out, this kind of separation has been quite large, although Hehua has been possessed by modern people, but still maintains the consciousness of Hehua itself, plus her insight, experience is far from the previous Hehua comparable, and this friendship with Meng Ling is very cherished, but also know that although the feudal etiquette of this era is not so strict, but as a princess of a country, it is not easy to make a few real handkerchief friends, so I want to try my best to save this friendship.

Just three days ago, Qin Wangzheng officially ordered that Fusu be named Jingyang Jun, and announced the marriage date of Fusu and Meng Ling, although Fusu was not officially established as the crown prince, but Fusu himself was the eldest son of Qin Wangzheng, and he was the first princess to be entitled, so the intention of establishing Fusu as the successor has been very clear.

And after the marriage date, Meng Ling naturally wanted to enter the palace to meet Fusu's mother Zheng Ji, and Hehua was Fusu's twin sister, of course, she also met Meng Ling with Zheng Ji, and the Netherlands took the opportunity to invite Meng Ling to go on an outing and play on the bank of the Wei River. Zheng Ji knew that Hehua and Meng Ling had always been friends when they were young, and after Fusu and Meng Ling got married, the two became concubines, so she naturally hoped that they would continue to be close to each other, so she also worked hard to encourage the two to interact more.

Meng Ling originally only liked to ride a horse and shoot hunting, and was not interested in this kind of aristocratic ladies' outing, and he was also a little more separated from Hehua, so he didn't want to travel, but at this time, he really couldn't say anything to refuse, so he had to agree to come down, and this morning, Meng Ling dressed up and accompanied Hehua on an outing.

Hearing Hehua say this, Meng Ling's heart also gave birth to infinite emotion, and the little bits and pieces of his childhood were also presented in his mind, he lowered his head and said softly: "Princess, I ......"

He Hua grabbed her hand and said, "When the two of us get along in private, can you not call me Princess, or call me He Hua the same as before?" ”

Meng Ling was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at Hehua, hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Hehua." ”

He Hua's face finally showed a smile, and said, "By the way, it's like this, it's still the same as when I was a child." He waved his hand lightly and said, "Take it." ”

I saw two maids each holding a large plate and placing a set of clothes, came to Meng Ling, and said, "Please change your clothes." ”

Meng Ling was stunned for a moment, and saw that a samurai suit was placed on the plate, and behind them, there were two chamberlains, one holding a bow and arrow, and the other holding a long sword with a sheath. I couldn't help but be puzzled, and said, "What kind of clothes?" ”

He Hua smiled: "I remember that you didn't like to wear long skirts since you were a child, and now that you have endured it for so long, it must be very hard, hurry up and change it, anyway, I am also tired, I want to take a break, you can also move, I haven't seen you riding a horse and archery for a long time." ”

Meng Ling was stunned for a moment, when the two were playing together when they were children, Meng Ling often appeared dancing swords and riding and shooting, or practicing martial arts with the guards in the palace, and He Hua was watching from the side, originally this time Meng Ling was invited by He Hua to travel and play, and he didn't think about riding a horse and archery at all, so he put on a long skirt and dressed as a noble lady, but he didn't expect He Hua to prepare a bow and arrow weapon for himself.

Meng Ling was really not used to wearing long skirts, but he felt awkward everywhere, so he did not shirk it, and at that moment several attendants formed a tent with a long cloth, and two maids served Meng Ling to change clothes. About ten minutes later, the tent was removed, and I saw Meng Ling's hair in a high bun, and he came out heroically in a strong armor. And Nei Zhi also came over, handed the bow and arrow, and the long sword to Meng Linghe Hua clapped his hands and smiled: "It seems that you are still suitable for this kind of samurai costume." ”

Meng Ling hung the long sword on his waist, took the bow and arrow again, moved his arm, and said with a smile: "It's much more comfortable now, I really suffocated me just now, thank you, Hehua." ”

At this time, another waiter brought a horse with a full saddle bridle to Meng Ling, and said with a smile: "Please Miss Meng get on the horse." ”

He Hua smiled: "Go ahead." ”

Meng Ling took the reins, turned over and got on the horse, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and shook the reins, the war horse neighed, spread its limbs, and galloped down the embankment, while the four guards also urged the horse to follow Meng Ling's horse, and ran away in a smoke. At this time, the palace maid had already put some snacks and fruits on the straw mat. He Hua sat down on the cushion and watched as Meng Ling galloped under the embankment.

Just now I walked for a long time in a long skirt, which really choked Meng Ling, and now I have changed into a short clothes and strong suit, and I can gallop on the horse, Meng Ling's mood is naturally very happy, and after running for a while, Meng Ling took off the bow and arrows and began to ride and shoot.

Although there is no prey to shoot here, it is still possible to find some trees and stones as targets, and although war horses, bows and arrows are not counted as hands, Meng Ling has a solid foundation after all, and he shoots at fixed targets, so out of ten arrows, he can also shoot seven or eight arrows. Of course, every time an arrow was shot, the palace maids, chamberlains, and guards watching on the embankment also clapped their hands and cheered for Meng Ling.

After shooting a few arrows, Meng Ling pulled out his long sword again, rode his horse and fought with the guards, although it was not really a real cut and kill, and the guards did not dare to really do anything with Meng Ling, but it was enough to move their muscles and bones, so the sound of the clanging gold and iron clashing for a while was resounding, and the other palace maids continued to drink, and the atmosphere was also very warm for a while.
