Reborn white moonlight's puppy
Chapter 28 Life and Death
"Yao Sheng and Xian Ping Jun are really like sisters, they are so enviable!" Watching the Seventh Princess go to the princess tent, the girl beside her didn't know whether she was envious or jealous, and stood beside Yao Sheng whispered.
But Yaosheng was not in the mood to gossip, he was very worried, raised his eyes to search for a while, and saw that the elder brother was walking out of the tent of the Su family, holding the wrist guard and turning his forearm, Yaosheng hurriedly chased him all the way with his skirt in hand.
"Brother." Su Yaosheng blocked Su Haichao's way.
"What?" Su Haichao nodded to his friend passing by, and then turned his head to look at Yaosheng impatiently.
"Brother, please help Xian Pingjun." After all, Su Yaosheng couldn't be as calm as she appeared on the surface. She always felt that her elder brother was behaving strangely recently, disregarding her father's warning, and had to teach her a few times to please the prince herself.Yaosheng grabbed the hem of his skirt and begged, "Help Changning, she is kind to our family, I'm worried that something will happen to her..."
"This is not something that you, a daughter, should get involved in!" Su Haichao's face turned cold, annoyed that Su Yaosheng would not be instructed.I taught her a few times and asked her to show his affection to the prince, but she was fine and pretended to be confused.Tutu made himself angry in front of the prince and ridiculed in front of everyone.Just as he was about to leave, seeing Yaosheng stepping back and blocking the way, Su Haichao didn't bother to argue with his clueless sister, so he simply shook Yaosheng's shoulder and walked towards the stable with a dark face.
The premonition in Su Yaosheng's heart became worse and worse, and he was impatient when he heard another commotion behind him, Yaosheng knew that Changning must have come out.
Su Yaosheng turned around to look around, and saw that the princess had her long hair tied up high and tied behind her head with a white jade ribbon. At this time, she was also lowering her head and arranging her clothes. Wearing a cloak before he could put it on in the future, the brows were full of heroism.Yao Sheng tried his best to steady his pace, and walked over to Chang Ning.
"Yaosheng?" Chang Ning was happy to see Yaosheng coming to look for her.Unexpectedly, the person in front of him stretched out his hand and pushed Chang Ning back into the tent.
"Autumn hunting is deceitful, don't go." Su Yaosheng pressed against Changning, refusing to let her go out again no matter what.
"But what news did Su Qing's family get?"
Shaking his head, Yaosheng couldn't answer, "I think the atmosphere is weird, and I have a bad feeling."
Chang Ning frowned and nodded seriously.Then he smiled, his face softened again, Yaosheng still cared about her, seeing the worried look on the man's face, Chang Ning felt happy, so he reached out and wrapped Yaosheng into his arms foolishly, "I will be careful
Yes, so many people protect me, nothing will happen. "
Yao Sheng only felt powerless, Chang Ning was tall and thin, as soon as that person got close, Yao Sheng was absolutely oppressed like a dark cloud cover, leaning in Chang Ning's arms, even struggling was difficult, Chang Ning's soft breath The breath made Yaosheng nowhere to escape.
"You can't be brave." The person in his arms seemed helpless.
"When I win the first prize, I will ask my father to marry me, Yao Sheng, if Chang Ning marries you, should you agree?" That scoundrel's heart was beating fast.
Su Yao was dumbfounded, and pushed Changning's chest, still worried: "If you try to be brave, the gain will outweigh the gain. At that time, I can't choose."
"Choose me!" The idiot got angry, let go of Yaosheng, and took a deep look.After that, the hands tied around his waist groped for something, and put the cloak that was draped around the crook of his arm before over Yaosheng's shoulders.Chang Ning straightened the tie in a serious manner, heaved a sigh of relief, and stretched out the cloak for Yao Sheng, and finally said happily, "It's done."
Su Yao was bitter in his heart, and was about to argue with Chang Ning about the backcourt of the autumn hunt, when suddenly a kiss was lightly placed on his forehead, Chang Ning's breath was within a square inch, that kiss was as soft as Chang Ning's heart.Su Yaosheng raised his finger to touch the trace of being kissed on his forehead, his face was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do, and for a moment he forgot to push away the disciple who was getting too much.
Exhortations can't stop a person who has made up his mind to go, and Yaosheng can't persuade his elder brother, nor can he persuade Changning, and his heart becomes more and more uneasy.The messenger outside the house had already called the time, Chang Ning smiled and said, "I'll come back." After saying that, he lifted the curtain and went out of the tent, but then Yao Sheng shook his head helplessly.
This idiot, with the bow still standing on the bow stand, went to the hunting ground without a weapon. Is he going to fight a bird of prey?Yao Sheng hurriedly went to the shelf to get the bow, holding it with both hands, he could truly appreciate the weight of the bow.
And Changning seemed to have remembered his longbow, and was lifting the curtain to go back to the house to get it. Seeing that Yaosheng was struggling to move, he hurriedly took it, "Don't go out, just hide. Be more comfortable." After saying that, Chang Ning turned around to leave.
"Changning!" Su Yaosheng hurriedly called out.
The man turned around after hearing this, and looked at Yaosheng blankly.
"Be careful, don't be greedy for merit." Su Yaosheng looked at Changning with a frown, unable to hide the worry in his eyes.
"Got it." Chang Ning still smiled warmly, with a harmless and introverted face, Yao Sheng's figure was reflected in his eyes, he took a deep look, hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and hugged Yao Sheng forcefully for a moment, and then reluctantly Let go of the tent.
Various
De'erlang led the horses and waited in the camp. Seeing that everyone was there, the fence of the hunting ground over there was opened, and the wind and dust were all over the place. Only the sound of horses' hoofs was heard, and most of the camp was empty.
The women's family members can't do much, but eat snacks, play throwing pots, and shoot arrows, but Yaosheng's heart is in a mess, so he doesn't pay the bill.After a while, Xiyin came and said that the princess settled down and asked her to stay to serve the lady, and then the table was filled with snacks and preserved fruits.
In the hunting ground, people roared past, and gradually, as they got deeper, the crowd dispersed.Gradually entering the depths of the forest, there was no one around, Chang Ning turned around and looked at the guards with him, and nodded.Then the guards showed off the long fork wrapped in brocade on the back, shining with silver light, with barbs, and looked like a powerful guy.
"Remember, we're not looking for anything else. We only want the white tiger. If someone else comes after us, just drive it away. It won't be a waste of time. When you meet the one we're looking for, don't retreat the fork-wielding tiger. The gunner sees the opportunity to let the blood out. Don't get separated, everyone will be rewarded for the first prize!" Chang Ning urged, seeing the calm expressions of the servants, without any fear, he felt relieved.
Turning around, it was time to set off again, not wanting another team to rush up.
"Xian Pingjun!" The person who came just yelled anxiously, Chang Ning only felt the wind on the back of his neck, bent down to dodge according to instinct, and the fighting spirit in his heart soared.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Xianping, if this goes to the battlefield, your head will be lost." The eldest prince was very proud to see Changning's panicked expression.
"Brother, the sword has no eyes. Next time, Chang Ning will be more impolite." Chang Ning's face was full of anger, and he only pushed the three-edged gun in his hand. Only then did the eldest prince feel the icy sharpness on his throat. His face darkened.
"Changning, if you dare to compete with the king, don't blame the king for being rude!" The eldest prince Zama took a few steps away, but now he didn't even bother to pretend. Take the single path on the west side in one step.
Chang Ning sighed and shook his head, and reinserted the three-edged gun into the buckle on the horse's side, and didn't bother to argue with that reckless man. Since he went west, Chang Ning simply chose the east.
Among the guards stationed at the hunting ground, there were soldiers from Changning who had been scattered before, and now they acted as eyeliners and got the exact news.It is said that in the depths of the paddock, the emperor deliberately released a white tiger, which is really rare, and it is very likely that it is the trick that the emperor refers to.
tiger hunting is not easy
Also, it is not easy to find a tiger. I rushed all the way, let alone the white tiger, and I haven't even seen an ordinary tiger.Chang Ning has already set a strategy, the best result is to find the white tiger smoothly, if not, even if it is to kill a few more raptors, it can be justified with the help of the father.
But how many hearts are still urgent, and gradually deepening along the way, Chang Ning discovered that the hunting ground is much bigger than imagined.
It was already noon in a blink of an eye, and hunting was a physically demanding activity, so most people would hunt nearby in the first half of the game, and then return to camp to rest at noon, and after lunch, they would go hunting in farther places in the afternoon.
Yaosheng didn't want to stay in the tent, although he was provided with food and drink, but Yaosheng didn't have any appetite.There are more raptors this year than in previous years. Not long after the hunting started in the morning, some reckless young masters were injured and turned back.The female relatives were trying to make fun of it, but now that some of the sons were injured and brought back, the daughters had no intention of visiting, and just looked at the entrance of the hunting ground, fearing that their elder brothers would come back after something happened. .
Yaosheng was no exception, seeing that the young masters from all families had returned to the camp for lunch break, but Changning did not come back.Worried, he heard the sound of horseshoes coming from the entrance of the camp, and Yao Sheng lifted his spirits and looked into the distance.
The people who came back had a large number of vassals one after another, but they were not from Changning.But the crown prince Changming returned to the camp, Yaosheng's eyes turned cold, and he saw that his eldest brother was also among them. It was not long before Changming had already hunted the first tiger of the day.
The emperor was in a good mood, and led all the officials to praise the prince, but Yaosheng frowned, and didn't even look at the group of people, still staring at Yingkou, but he couldn't wait for the person she was waiting for.
Looking up at the sky, noon is almost over, and those who came back early, some of them are already preparing their equipment for departure.But Changning still didn't return to the camp, Yaosheng couldn't sit still.He simply went to the tent of the Su family, and saw that the eldest brother looked happy.
"Father, brother." Su Yaosheng saluted and sat at the end of the table.
"Yeah!" Su Haichao nodded coquettishly, and before the result was seen, his calm look seemed to confirm that the prince was sure of winning.
"Brother, can you see Mr. Xianping?"
Su Haichao chewed the piece of meat in his mouth, his complexion sank again, "Su Yaosheng."
Yao Sheng raised his eyes and looked at each other.
"Stay away from Changning, and don't drag the Su family down because of your childish willfulness." Su Haichao patted the salt on his hands, and stared at Yaosheng with a warning tone, "Because of you, father is already hard to do." , now the Su family has recruited various
Fang's eyes, isn't it that we are going around in a low voice and maintaining the situation? "
With a sullen expression, Su Lingqing dropped the lamp in his hand heavily on the table.None of these sons and daughters made him worry, "You are all grown up! Your wings are hard! How many words have you heard about being a father?!"
The two brothers and sister turned their heads with cold faces in displeasure, "If this Su family relies on you to preside over it, can it last for a long time?!" The more Su Lingqing said, the more angry she became.
One ignores his father's warning to provoke the princes' families, and the other ignores the emperor's warning and insists on strengthening the prince's power.None of these sons and daughters listened to persuasion!
Just as he was about to be reprimanded, Erlang from the Wei family outside the tent called out: "Brother Su! Hurry up! We are ready to go."
"Here we come!" Su Haichao took a longbow and hurriedly got up and chased him out.
Su Yaosheng sighed with calm eyes, then saluted his father and left the tent.The sun was shining brightly outside the tent at this time, looking around, I saw the sons and daughters of various families entering the hunting ground one after another, Changning... still hadn't returned.
Su Yaosheng clutched the cloak tightly, the uneasiness in his heart expanding infinitely.Seeing the Prince's radiance and hearty laughter, Yao Sheng couldn't be worried about that man.The prince is shady, if he has something on his mind, he must have a serious face.But today's prince is proud of the spring breeze, and he looks sure of winning, which shows that the person's winning rate must be quite high.
Changning, come back quickly.Yaosheng prayed anxiously in his heart over and over again.
At the same time, in the depths of the secluded forest, Chang Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the hand holding the long weapon trembled uncontrollably.The tiger's mouth was in pain from the shock, and the fine white robe was now stained with mud, completely losing the peace it had earlier.
Chang Ning slumped on the ground, looked at the weapon in his hand and shook his head.After all, she was half-baked. At the time, she thought she had thought it through. As a result, when designing, Chang Ning's drawings designed the handle to be smooth throughout, but no one reminded her that when she was stained with blood, the long weapon slipped easily and she couldn't use her full strength.
"Master, use this one." The guard beside him handed his three-edged gun to Chang Ning.
Chang Ning raised his eyes and saw that the gun body was wrapped with a thin hemp rope, and then turned his head to look at everyone. Seeing that everyone was like this, Chang Ning smiled wryly: "You all know what I did wrong, why not?" remind me?"
The guards just stood respectfully, no one dared to speak nonsense.
"Sit down and rest." Chang Ning patted the grass beside him.As a result, everyone remained silent, just standing in order.
"Sit down, people in our house, don't follow those old
The old rules do not know how to adapt! "Changning patted the grass seriously, and everyone sat down hesitantly.
Seeing that everyone's faces finally relaxed a little, Chang Ning pulled out a long handkerchief from his arms and stood up.When hunting the tiger just now, Xiaosheng who rushed to the front was thrown down by the tiger. He almost had an accident and was pushed away by everyone with their long forks, but Xiaosheng's arm was still caught.Panting for a while, Chang Ning went to the Xiaosheng's side to check carefully, and he was relieved to see that the skin was only injured.
"Princess, come on your own." That Xiaosheng didn't dare to accept the princess's care, so he dodged.
"Don't move, it will be fine soon." Chang Ning frowned, bandaged Xiao Sheng's wound and said, "If you are injured, go back first."
"I won't return! I can continue to serve the princess!" That Xiaosheng was a loyal guard.
"Okay, don't be brave, we have a lot of people, so you can go back at ease!" Chang Ning tied up the handkerchief tightly and tied it in a small knot, "Besides, we can't take this big guy running all over the mountains and forests, can we? You help me Take it back first!"
Since he received his order, the Xiaosheng was also indistinguishable.After resting with everyone for a while, Chang Ning led his subordinates to continue hunting for the white tiger, while the injured guard returned the hunted tiger camel back to camp on horseback.According to everyone's discussion, if Xiaosheng brought the tiger back to the camp, it would be considered as Princess Changning's meritorious service. There are not a few retainers in the camp. At that time, one more person can come to fill the vacancy, and it is still safe for now.
After the discussion, everyone parted ways.However, the young man returning to the camp would never have thought that on the way back to the camp, he would bump into the cavalry team of the First Prince hunting.A group of people came in a mighty way, and the little student couldn't dodge in time, and bumped into the head.
"Bold! Who doesn't have eyes! How dare you block the eldest prince's way!" The person on the opposite side yelled loudly, and was about to whip his long whip to whip him.
"Eldest Prince, forgive me! Eldest Prince, forgive me!" The little guard felt aggrieved, obviously making a detour, but this group of people insisted on going against each other deliberately, and even provoked them with words.Although he felt aggrieved, he had no choice but to get off his horse and knelt down in front of the prince and all the ministers to salute.
"Where are you going after you stole my tiger?" The eldest prince reined in the reins, and looked at the guard opposite him with a half-smile. Seeing the way his forehead was tied, he already knew that the guard was Chang Ning's retainer.
The little boy gave a surprised look and was speechless.But his mind turned quickly, and he realized that this deliberate collision was aimed at seizing the tiger.Pulling the rein anxiously, he took two steps backwards. Before everyone could react, he suddenly jumped on his horse and fell off.
Headed to the depths of the woods.
If it was here, no one would dare to touch it, but fighting for merit is the top priority, and the eldest prince has nothing to gain. Seeing that Changning's retainers were transporting the prey alone, they thought of snatching it.It's so easy to kill a guard without a trace. At worst, it's a raptor attack, and it's done without anyone noticing.
There were several arrows attacking behind him, and the guard's horse must not be able to run fast with the man and the tiger on its back.Before he took a few steps, even the horse and the man were shot to the ground.
"Kill him!" The eldest prince was excited, and was about to catch up with the guard with his horse.
Fortunately, the little guard was nimble and rolled into the woods. When the eldest prince wanted to pursue him, several arrows flew over from the sky, stopping the eldest prince's pursuit.
"Bold! Who is presumptuous!" While covering the retreat of the eldest prince, everyone did not forget to drag the tiger as a trophy.
Seeing dozens of arrows falling from the body of the dying little guard, he thought that the man would not be able to last too long, so the eldest prince and his party were afraid of being ambushed, so they turned around and left the place.
"Your Highness, what should I do with that retainer of Lord Xianping?" After the secret forest, a group of men with their faces hidden appeared one after another.
"Why don't you make good use of such a good thing?" The prince smiled, narrowing his sinister eyes. "Throwing that man to the gate of the camp, today is really a good day. It is really gratifying to be able to eradicate two opponents in one fell swoop."
Prince Chang Ming pulled the reins, turned leisurely, and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered Xian Ping Jun asking, "Is Chang Ning here yet?"
"Return to Your Highness, Mr. Xian Ping has gone astray, I have asked someone to guide me, I guess it will take a while." The vassal responded.
Seeing the crown prince waving his hand, the group of masked men retreated into the woods again, while the crown prince Chang Ming walked leisurely and returned to the resting crowd. The subordinates were chatting and laughing, and in front of them, people were dying around their heads The white tiger was amazed again and again.
Prince, it is a sure bet.
When Su Yaosheng became more and more disturbed, a bloody attendant ran out outside the hunting ground.There was still an arrow sticking out of her back, the female relatives had never seen such a scene, and they were screaming in fright.
Among the crowd, Yao Sheng had already recognized the guard's attire, he was Chang Ning's follower, his heart contracted suddenly, and Yao Sheng was so painful that he narrowly fell down and rushed over.
If it is said that people are injured every year due to autumn hunting, but the guards have arrows stuck in their backs, but anyone with a brain can see that it is man-made rather than hunting injuries.
After a few steps, the little guard was surrounded by everyone.even have leisure tea
The emperor also rushed up.
"Elder...prince, the eldest prince robbed... Lord Xianping's tiger..." Before the guard could say a few words, he fell headlong and passed out.
It was still lively before, but everyone fell into a dead silence, and the fratricide was still broken in front of everyone. What an embarrassing scene.
Seeing the changing face of the emperor, from white to green, from blue to red, he gritted his teeth and called General Fu Lang, "Go and find Chang Hong Chang Ning and come back, I want to see him right away!"
"Yes!" The soldiers and horses hand-picked by the emperor quickly assembled, and after only a moment, they rushed into the hunting ground.
Su Yaosheng looked at the direction of the hunting ground with cold eyes. Her complexion was also not good. After standing in the cold wind for nearly a day, her lips trembled slightly from the cold, but she still gritted her teeth and endured it. When no one saw her, Su Yaosheng's eyes quietly glowed. moisture.Chang Ning was stubborn, saying that she refused to listen to him several times, and he had scolded that person countless times in his heart, but he only felt powerless and sore in his heart.A pair of hands hidden under the cuffs couldn't stop trembling, she only remembered Chang Ning saying: "When I win the first prize, I will ask my father to marry me."
In the depths of the hunting ground, Chang Ning didn't say anything, but his heart became more and more anxious. He looked at the sky and urged the horse to go fast. Hunting was much more difficult than imagined. It is difficult for inexperienced people to detect the presence of wild animals. Traces, searching aimlessly like her, the efficiency is really poor.
The sunset in autumn is fast, but seeing the sky getting late, Changning really panicked.Hastily glanced over, and suddenly pulled the reins, there were clearly traces of claws scratching on a tree in front of him, Chang Ning looked at the weeds that were taller than a person, and he still led his retainers to search.
"Cheer up and protect the princess." The guards beside him became alert, and they surrounded Chang Ning in the middle.
Tracking all the way, seeing some traces on the ground, Chang Ning slowed down.Above their heads, a man in black made a gesture, and saw many people hiding in the canopy above their heads.
After searching step by step, gradually, some blood stains appeared on the ground, mottled with traces of dragging. Chang Ning was ecstatic, and he called everyone to prepare weapons. With a longbow in hand, a group of people traced along the traces.
When everyone finally walked out of the barren grassland, the group stopped.A pitch-black cave appeared in front of him, and the mottled blood stains continued all the way into the cave. The sun couldn't shine in, and there was a cold air, like a bloody mouth, waiting for the prey to visit.
"Master, it's too dark, and I don't know what's going on inside, or forget it." The guard on the side seemed to be
Embarrassed, for fear that the princess might make a mistake.
Chang Ning looked up at the sky, the sun was already slanting to the west, and it would be dark in a short time, they didn't have much time, now Haikou boasted and went back in despair, how could they have the face to meet Yao Sheng?
"Come in!" Chang Ning gritted his teeth.Even if she only hunted two tigers today, she still has a way to mediate with the emperor, but one... is really too reluctant.
A group of people gathered local materials, made some torches, and then went to the cave.
But they didn't know that there was a group of people accompanying them behind the scenes, and one of them was actually Su Yaosheng's eldest brother Su Haichao, hiding in the dark, as if waiting for Chang Ning and his party to enter the cave.
General Fu Lang's cavalry had just left the front field at this time, seeing the prince and his party returning with a full load of prey, large and small, their morale was high and they were heading back to the camp.
"His Royal Highness!" Fu Lang quickly got off his horse and saluted.
"How did Fu Lang come? But which son is asking for help?" The prince looked serious, looked at the mighty team in front of him and said: "If you are in danger, you can send the lonely person to go with you!"
"Oh, no need, Your Highness, the sky is about to fall, and the hunting ground is full of dangers at night, so it is safer for me to go." Nafu Lang replied, "And ask Your Highness if you know where Mr. Xianping has left?" direction?"
The prince frowned and said with concern: "But Seventh Sister is in danger?"
"No, no, it's just that I hurt a retainer. Seeing that it was getting late, His Majesty asked the minister to wait for the response, so as not to worry about the princess getting lost in the dark." Fu Lang would not know the truth, and still sighed in his heart about the deep love between brother and sister.
"I have never met Seventh Sister when I was hunting in the lonely afternoon. All the sons and daughters I met along the way from the east also went with me. Let's go and look for the west. Seventh Sister is playful, please trouble Fu Lang Already!" The prince was polite, and he sent his entourage to search for him, and then he continued to return to the camp.
Looking at the darkening night, a faint smile appeared on Prince Changming's face, west?I'm afraid I can't find it even if I find Heitian.After today, no one will be able to shake his position. When all the dust settles, it won't be a matter of time before he marries Yaosheng, wins over the Su family, and becomes king.
But he said that Chang Ning entered the cave with his followers.
"Princess, stand back." The guards beside him were cautious before entering the cave not far away. The group of people held long weapons and formed a defensive posture.In the darkness, even though there was a faint light from the torch, facing the endless darkness, it was still impossible to see anything clearly.Quiet to the extreme, as the sound of the friction of the gravel under the feet gradually deepened, in
From the other end of the cave, the panting sound of the beast was faintly heard.
Chang Ning turned his head and looked back at the cave entrance, forced himself to calm down, stopped everyone and said, "If the situation is not right, we will withdraw from the cave and don't want to fight."
"Yes!" Everyone replied with a suppressed voice. In the darkness, the unknown danger was creepy. They didn't dare to take it lightly. They walked slowly, and the shields in their hands had formed an iron wall.
At this time, a gap was opened in the middle of the shield, and everyone tried their best to hold up the torches and look around.Suddenly, at the end of the darkness, there were two strands of dim light flickering, and everyone held their breaths.Chang Ning held the longbow and shot three arrows at the same time, and fired the full bow at the Youguang, "Attention..."
"Swish-boom!" The sound seemed to be shot on the flesh.
Then the black shadow roared, as if it was in pain, but it didn't sound like a tiger roaring.Seeing the gloomy light getting higher and higher, everyone kept staring at it, and slowly raised their eyes, Chang Ning held his breath, "It's a bear!"
Everyone was surprised, but Chang Ning didn't stop. In an instant, more than a dozen arrows were shot, and the bear was furious. The only sound was the sound of sharp claws scratching the ground, and it was creepy.Chang Ning hurriedly greeted: "Get out! Quickly get out!"
Seeing that they were no match, everyone turned around and fled out of the cave, but no one would have guessed that when they turned around, there happened to be a giant stone roller at the entrance of the cave, and with a bang, the entrance of the cave was sealed until only a circle of afterglow remained.
"Defend! Defend!" Chang Ning gritted his teeth and shot an arrow!The shield array behind him was set up again in a panic.
A guard rushed to the entrance of the cave to check the situation, pushed hard for a while, and slipped under his feet, but the boulder did not move at all, and he searched around and found no gaps to escape.
Among the crowd, only Chang Ning was the first to realize that this was a trap, they were being tricked.Hurriedly throwing away the longbow in his hand, Chang Ning hurriedly took off the three-edged spear on his back for defense, and when he raised his head, the extremely strong brown bear was overwhelmingly crushing him.
"Bloodletting!" Chang Ning gritted his teeth and wrestled. In the darkness, four strong men raised a shield in one hand and held a barbed trident in the other against the brown bear to prevent it from approaching.Under the hard support, the remaining Chang Ning and the other three people stabbed the brown bear's torso frantically with the three-edged gun.Blood flowed profusely from the triangular opening, but the brown bear was so strong that it tore the shield out of shape with just one palm.
Meanwhile, in camp, bonfires blaze in what should be a feast of conviviality.At this time, all the ministers knelt on the ground, and no one dared to speak.
The female relatives were driven far away, all secretly looking at the sight in front of them
battles.Su Yaosheng raised his head and looked at the stars all over the sky, feeling exhausted, clutching Chang Ning's cloak tightly, uneasy, staring at Yingkou for a moment, but did not see Chang Ning's return for a long time.
"Slap!" The emperor was furious, and stretched out his hand to slap the eldest prince across the face!Gritting his teeth and pulling at Chang Hong's collar, he angrily said, "Where is Chang Ning!"
"Father... Royal father, I really don't know!" Chang Hong was extremely embarrassed, kneeling on the ground and trembling, seeing his father raised his arms again, Chang Hong was so frightened that he hugged his head tightly and dodged.
"If Changning doesn't come back, all of you will be buried with Changning!" The emperor slapped Changhong on the back of the head several times.
But no matter how anxious and flustered it is, it will not help.Outside the hunting ground, soldiers would report every once in a while, but they all shook their heads and remained silent. Chang Ning seemed to have disappeared.
All this fell in Yao Sheng's eyes, but there was one person who was particularly eye-catching, that is the prince's party, Chang Ming's face was not disturbed, and the elder brother Su Haichao, who knelt behind his father also had a calm expression.Yao Sheng repeatedly thought about the abnormal behavior of his elder brother these days, and he was sure that the prince was doing the ghost.
If it was really planned by the prince, would you like to save Changning's life?Yaosheng raised his head hastily, pursed his lips stubbornly, and refused to show a trace of panic.
"Mr. Xianping—"
"Dedication-Ping-Jun-"
In the hunting ground, the calls of the soldiers came one after another. In the night, all the soldiers held torches in every corner, but there was still no one.
At this time, the cave was pitch black, and it was eeriely silent, leaving only the people lingering.Chang Ning leaned against the boulder at the entrance of the cave, clutching his shoulders, trembling unceasingly, and his shoulders were burning with pain, as if they had been torn apart.It felt like the blood was gushing uncontrollably, making his clothes wet and sticky.
How strong can a bear be?Chang Ning looked at the bent long fork in his hand and knew the answer.The leg was pressed by the brown bear's body, and Chang Ning couldn't pull it out, so he simply gave up struggling and leaned against the boulder, shaking in pain.
"Dedicated—Ping—Jun—"
There was a faint call from the cave, and Chang Ning was overjoyed, and quickly responded: "Here!!!"
But she lost her strength a long time ago, even if her throat was broken by shouting, the voice could not be heard very far.He simply held the bent long fork and beat the deformed shield desperately.
"Here!! The princess is here!!!" After a while, there was a fire outside the cave through the cracks in the boulders, and Chang Ning hurriedly called for help.
When a group of people finally moved the boulder through a gap, of the eight people, only three survived.Bloody smell
Chang Ning was rescued in a panic.
Until the flames outside the camp burned to the sky, corpses were carried back to the camp.Mr. Xianping still insisted on riding back by himself, and the crowd behind him carried a huge beast. Only then did Chang Ning know that eight people actually killed a nearly three-meter-high brown bear.
There was no praise or celebration, but when Chang Ning knelt in front of his father, what he received was a resounding slap in the face.
"Let you know how to measure!" The emperor stared at Chang Ning bitterly.
Behind them, when the huge monster was thrown to the ground with a bang, everyone looked at Chang Ning as if they were looking at a monster.Even Prince Changming didn't expect that Changning not only came back alive, but also killed the giant beast.
"Father, Chang Ning has something to ask." Chang Ning didn't care, but felt dizzy in front of her eyes. She was afraid that if she missed the opportunity in front of her, she would disappoint Yao Sheng.
"Chang Ning, I would like to make a long-term covenant with Yao Sheng, and ask my father to fulfill it." Chang Ning hunched his body tiredly, still trembling and respectful in front of him.
The people around were noisy and whispering, and the female relatives looked at Su Yaosheng in surprise, but they saw Su Yaosheng frowning, looking at Changning's back, not knowing what it meant.
"Chang Ning! You are shameless, father, you want more! You want to make the world laugh at me?" The crown prince was surprised, and hurriedly stopped shouting, and the officials became even more noisy.
"Father! You are not joking! Chang Ning begs for Yao's life!" Chang Ning's voice overwhelmed everyone, only the emperor remained silent with a dark face, and the prince suddenly realized.
"Where is Su Yao's birth?" The emperor looked at Su Lingqing with a dark face, obviously Lingqing didn't know, because he was more shocked by the news before him than anyone else.
"I... don't know..."
Yaosheng took a deep breath and stood out among the female relatives.
"I just think they are abnormal, you see, it really is like this."
"impossible?!"
"Is it Mr. Xianping's wishful thinking?"
There were discussions behind him one after another, Chang Ning turned around and looked at Su Yaosheng with a smile, they were supposed to be the most brilliant couple tonight, but unfortunately, Chang Ning was too embarrassed, not worthy of Yaosheng's natural softness.
Everyone's eyes were on Yao Sheng, but Yao Sheng only had one person in his eyes.Chang Ning was sloppy, his robe was stained with blood, and he struggled to lift one arm.Tonight is ridiculous, but Yaosheng feels that doing anything is a waste of time, she just wants to drag Changning back to the tent to rest, and wants to ask the imperial doctor to relieve the pain between Changning's eyebrows and eyes.
Time seemed to have stopped flowing. Looking at Changning, Yaosheng felt his eyes were burning.
Can you still laugh?There was an inexplicable sound of cracking strings in her ear, and Yaosheng couldn't react in time. She saw Chang Ning turn his eyes, staggered and struggled to get up, and rushed towards her with fear in his eyes.
"Chang..." Before Yaosheng could utter his words, he saw Changning rushing towards him with his arms outstretched in panic, pushing Yaosheng staggeringly, but an arrow cut Changning's shoulder. Falls to the ground with a deflected shot.
In an instant, the camp was in chaos, with screams and roars.
But Changning suddenly struggled to get up from the ground, grabbed Yaosheng and pulled him behind him, ran to the emperor and opened his arms.
"Protect the emperor! Catch the assassin!" Chang Ning commanded the soldiers who hadn't reacted yet, and everyone took action.
Yaosheng looked at the arrow stuck on his shoulder, his mind went blank, he couldn't hear anything clearly, and he watched the bright red blood stains on his robe fainted in circles, Chang Ning, desperately protecting her Behind him, he directed everyone to be on guard.
In a blink of an eye, the soldiers surrounded the dragon seat, and when they killed the assassin in the jungle behind the camp, the assassin took his own life first.
Everyone was in chaos, Yao Sheng was frightened, and unconsciously stretched out his hand to pull Chang Ning's sleeve. The man felt it, and looked back, the warm light of the bonfire reflected Chang Ning's profile, she was extremely embarrassed, but she was still gentle He smiled, but before his eyes could touch the person he was thinking about, he fell down in front of Yao Sheng.
"Changning!"
"Ning'er!"
Some people were busy scurrying around, while others were completely insane. The scene was extremely chaotic, and the soldiers stationed on three floors surrounded the camp.
"Imperial Physician! Xuan Imperial Physician!!!" Wei Sigong hurriedly greeted, his sharp voice overwhelmed all the panic, and Chang Ning was carried to the princess tent.
"Okay, tonight is really shocking and
But Yaosheng was not in the mood to gossip, he was very worried, raised his eyes to search for a while, and saw that the elder brother was walking out of the tent of the Su family, holding the wrist guard and turning his forearm, Yaosheng hurriedly chased him all the way with his skirt in hand.
"Brother." Su Yaosheng blocked Su Haichao's way.
"What?" Su Haichao nodded to his friend passing by, and then turned his head to look at Yaosheng impatiently.
"Brother, please help Xian Pingjun." After all, Su Yaosheng couldn't be as calm as she appeared on the surface. She always felt that her elder brother was behaving strangely recently, disregarding her father's warning, and had to teach her a few times to please the prince herself.Yaosheng grabbed the hem of his skirt and begged, "Help Changning, she is kind to our family, I'm worried that something will happen to her..."
"This is not something that you, a daughter, should get involved in!" Su Haichao's face turned cold, annoyed that Su Yaosheng would not be instructed.I taught her a few times and asked her to show his affection to the prince, but she was fine and pretended to be confused.Tutu made himself angry in front of the prince and ridiculed in front of everyone.Just as he was about to leave, seeing Yaosheng stepping back and blocking the way, Su Haichao didn't bother to argue with his clueless sister, so he simply shook Yaosheng's shoulder and walked towards the stable with a dark face.
The premonition in Su Yaosheng's heart became worse and worse, and he was impatient when he heard another commotion behind him, Yaosheng knew that Changning must have come out.
Su Yaosheng turned around to look around, and saw that the princess had her long hair tied up high and tied behind her head with a white jade ribbon. At this time, she was also lowering her head and arranging her clothes. Wearing a cloak before he could put it on in the future, the brows were full of heroism.Yao Sheng tried his best to steady his pace, and walked over to Chang Ning.
"Yaosheng?" Chang Ning was happy to see Yaosheng coming to look for her.Unexpectedly, the person in front of him stretched out his hand and pushed Chang Ning back into the tent.
"Autumn hunting is deceitful, don't go." Su Yaosheng pressed against Changning, refusing to let her go out again no matter what.
"But what news did Su Qing's family get?"
Shaking his head, Yaosheng couldn't answer, "I think the atmosphere is weird, and I have a bad feeling."
Chang Ning frowned and nodded seriously.Then he smiled, his face softened again, Yaosheng still cared about her, seeing the worried look on the man's face, Chang Ning felt happy, so he reached out and wrapped Yaosheng into his arms foolishly, "I will be careful
Yes, so many people protect me, nothing will happen. "
Yao Sheng only felt powerless, Chang Ning was tall and thin, as soon as that person got close, Yao Sheng was absolutely oppressed like a dark cloud cover, leaning in Chang Ning's arms, even struggling was difficult, Chang Ning's soft breath The breath made Yaosheng nowhere to escape.
"You can't be brave." The person in his arms seemed helpless.
"When I win the first prize, I will ask my father to marry me, Yao Sheng, if Chang Ning marries you, should you agree?" That scoundrel's heart was beating fast.
Su Yao was dumbfounded, and pushed Changning's chest, still worried: "If you try to be brave, the gain will outweigh the gain. At that time, I can't choose."
"Choose me!" The idiot got angry, let go of Yaosheng, and took a deep look.After that, the hands tied around his waist groped for something, and put the cloak that was draped around the crook of his arm before over Yaosheng's shoulders.Chang Ning straightened the tie in a serious manner, heaved a sigh of relief, and stretched out the cloak for Yao Sheng, and finally said happily, "It's done."
Su Yao was bitter in his heart, and was about to argue with Chang Ning about the backcourt of the autumn hunt, when suddenly a kiss was lightly placed on his forehead, Chang Ning's breath was within a square inch, that kiss was as soft as Chang Ning's heart.Su Yaosheng raised his finger to touch the trace of being kissed on his forehead, his face was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do, and for a moment he forgot to push away the disciple who was getting too much.
Exhortations can't stop a person who has made up his mind to go, and Yaosheng can't persuade his elder brother, nor can he persuade Changning, and his heart becomes more and more uneasy.The messenger outside the house had already called the time, Chang Ning smiled and said, "I'll come back." After saying that, he lifted the curtain and went out of the tent, but then Yao Sheng shook his head helplessly.
This idiot, with the bow still standing on the bow stand, went to the hunting ground without a weapon. Is he going to fight a bird of prey?Yao Sheng hurriedly went to the shelf to get the bow, holding it with both hands, he could truly appreciate the weight of the bow.
And Changning seemed to have remembered his longbow, and was lifting the curtain to go back to the house to get it. Seeing that Yaosheng was struggling to move, he hurriedly took it, "Don't go out, just hide. Be more comfortable." After saying that, Chang Ning turned around to leave.
"Changning!" Su Yaosheng hurriedly called out.
The man turned around after hearing this, and looked at Yaosheng blankly.
"Be careful, don't be greedy for merit." Su Yaosheng looked at Changning with a frown, unable to hide the worry in his eyes.
"Got it." Chang Ning still smiled warmly, with a harmless and introverted face, Yao Sheng's figure was reflected in his eyes, he took a deep look, hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and hugged Yao Sheng forcefully for a moment, and then reluctantly Let go of the tent.
Various
De'erlang led the horses and waited in the camp. Seeing that everyone was there, the fence of the hunting ground over there was opened, and the wind and dust were all over the place. Only the sound of horses' hoofs was heard, and most of the camp was empty.
The women's family members can't do much, but eat snacks, play throwing pots, and shoot arrows, but Yaosheng's heart is in a mess, so he doesn't pay the bill.After a while, Xiyin came and said that the princess settled down and asked her to stay to serve the lady, and then the table was filled with snacks and preserved fruits.
In the hunting ground, people roared past, and gradually, as they got deeper, the crowd dispersed.Gradually entering the depths of the forest, there was no one around, Chang Ning turned around and looked at the guards with him, and nodded.Then the guards showed off the long fork wrapped in brocade on the back, shining with silver light, with barbs, and looked like a powerful guy.
"Remember, we're not looking for anything else. We only want the white tiger. If someone else comes after us, just drive it away. It won't be a waste of time. When you meet the one we're looking for, don't retreat the fork-wielding tiger. The gunner sees the opportunity to let the blood out. Don't get separated, everyone will be rewarded for the first prize!" Chang Ning urged, seeing the calm expressions of the servants, without any fear, he felt relieved.
Turning around, it was time to set off again, not wanting another team to rush up.
"Xian Pingjun!" The person who came just yelled anxiously, Chang Ning only felt the wind on the back of his neck, bent down to dodge according to instinct, and the fighting spirit in his heart soared.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Xianping, if this goes to the battlefield, your head will be lost." The eldest prince was very proud to see Changning's panicked expression.
"Brother, the sword has no eyes. Next time, Chang Ning will be more impolite." Chang Ning's face was full of anger, and he only pushed the three-edged gun in his hand. Only then did the eldest prince feel the icy sharpness on his throat. His face darkened.
"Changning, if you dare to compete with the king, don't blame the king for being rude!" The eldest prince Zama took a few steps away, but now he didn't even bother to pretend. Take the single path on the west side in one step.
Chang Ning sighed and shook his head, and reinserted the three-edged gun into the buckle on the horse's side, and didn't bother to argue with that reckless man. Since he went west, Chang Ning simply chose the east.
Among the guards stationed at the hunting ground, there were soldiers from Changning who had been scattered before, and now they acted as eyeliners and got the exact news.It is said that in the depths of the paddock, the emperor deliberately released a white tiger, which is really rare, and it is very likely that it is the trick that the emperor refers to.
tiger hunting is not easy
Also, it is not easy to find a tiger. I rushed all the way, let alone the white tiger, and I haven't even seen an ordinary tiger.Chang Ning has already set a strategy, the best result is to find the white tiger smoothly, if not, even if it is to kill a few more raptors, it can be justified with the help of the father.
But how many hearts are still urgent, and gradually deepening along the way, Chang Ning discovered that the hunting ground is much bigger than imagined.
It was already noon in a blink of an eye, and hunting was a physically demanding activity, so most people would hunt nearby in the first half of the game, and then return to camp to rest at noon, and after lunch, they would go hunting in farther places in the afternoon.
Yaosheng didn't want to stay in the tent, although he was provided with food and drink, but Yaosheng didn't have any appetite.There are more raptors this year than in previous years. Not long after the hunting started in the morning, some reckless young masters were injured and turned back.The female relatives were trying to make fun of it, but now that some of the sons were injured and brought back, the daughters had no intention of visiting, and just looked at the entrance of the hunting ground, fearing that their elder brothers would come back after something happened. .
Yaosheng was no exception, seeing that the young masters from all families had returned to the camp for lunch break, but Changning did not come back.Worried, he heard the sound of horseshoes coming from the entrance of the camp, and Yao Sheng lifted his spirits and looked into the distance.
The people who came back had a large number of vassals one after another, but they were not from Changning.But the crown prince Changming returned to the camp, Yaosheng's eyes turned cold, and he saw that his eldest brother was also among them. It was not long before Changming had already hunted the first tiger of the day.
The emperor was in a good mood, and led all the officials to praise the prince, but Yaosheng frowned, and didn't even look at the group of people, still staring at Yingkou, but he couldn't wait for the person she was waiting for.
Looking up at the sky, noon is almost over, and those who came back early, some of them are already preparing their equipment for departure.But Changning still didn't return to the camp, Yaosheng couldn't sit still.He simply went to the tent of the Su family, and saw that the eldest brother looked happy.
"Father, brother." Su Yaosheng saluted and sat at the end of the table.
"Yeah!" Su Haichao nodded coquettishly, and before the result was seen, his calm look seemed to confirm that the prince was sure of winning.
"Brother, can you see Mr. Xianping?"
Su Haichao chewed the piece of meat in his mouth, his complexion sank again, "Su Yaosheng."
Yao Sheng raised his eyes and looked at each other.
"Stay away from Changning, and don't drag the Su family down because of your childish willfulness." Su Haichao patted the salt on his hands, and stared at Yaosheng with a warning tone, "Because of you, father is already hard to do." , now the Su family has recruited various
Fang's eyes, isn't it that we are going around in a low voice and maintaining the situation? "
With a sullen expression, Su Lingqing dropped the lamp in his hand heavily on the table.None of these sons and daughters made him worry, "You are all grown up! Your wings are hard! How many words have you heard about being a father?!"
The two brothers and sister turned their heads with cold faces in displeasure, "If this Su family relies on you to preside over it, can it last for a long time?!" The more Su Lingqing said, the more angry she became.
One ignores his father's warning to provoke the princes' families, and the other ignores the emperor's warning and insists on strengthening the prince's power.None of these sons and daughters listened to persuasion!
Just as he was about to be reprimanded, Erlang from the Wei family outside the tent called out: "Brother Su! Hurry up! We are ready to go."
"Here we come!" Su Haichao took a longbow and hurriedly got up and chased him out.
Su Yaosheng sighed with calm eyes, then saluted his father and left the tent.The sun was shining brightly outside the tent at this time, looking around, I saw the sons and daughters of various families entering the hunting ground one after another, Changning... still hadn't returned.
Su Yaosheng clutched the cloak tightly, the uneasiness in his heart expanding infinitely.Seeing the Prince's radiance and hearty laughter, Yao Sheng couldn't be worried about that man.The prince is shady, if he has something on his mind, he must have a serious face.But today's prince is proud of the spring breeze, and he looks sure of winning, which shows that the person's winning rate must be quite high.
Changning, come back quickly.Yaosheng prayed anxiously in his heart over and over again.
At the same time, in the depths of the secluded forest, Chang Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the hand holding the long weapon trembled uncontrollably.The tiger's mouth was in pain from the shock, and the fine white robe was now stained with mud, completely losing the peace it had earlier.
Chang Ning slumped on the ground, looked at the weapon in his hand and shook his head.After all, she was half-baked. At the time, she thought she had thought it through. As a result, when designing, Chang Ning's drawings designed the handle to be smooth throughout, but no one reminded her that when she was stained with blood, the long weapon slipped easily and she couldn't use her full strength.
"Master, use this one." The guard beside him handed his three-edged gun to Chang Ning.
Chang Ning raised his eyes and saw that the gun body was wrapped with a thin hemp rope, and then turned his head to look at everyone. Seeing that everyone was like this, Chang Ning smiled wryly: "You all know what I did wrong, why not?" remind me?"
The guards just stood respectfully, no one dared to speak nonsense.
"Sit down and rest." Chang Ning patted the grass beside him.As a result, everyone remained silent, just standing in order.
"Sit down, people in our house, don't follow those old
The old rules do not know how to adapt! "Changning patted the grass seriously, and everyone sat down hesitantly.
Seeing that everyone's faces finally relaxed a little, Chang Ning pulled out a long handkerchief from his arms and stood up.When hunting the tiger just now, Xiaosheng who rushed to the front was thrown down by the tiger. He almost had an accident and was pushed away by everyone with their long forks, but Xiaosheng's arm was still caught.Panting for a while, Chang Ning went to the Xiaosheng's side to check carefully, and he was relieved to see that the skin was only injured.
"Princess, come on your own." That Xiaosheng didn't dare to accept the princess's care, so he dodged.
"Don't move, it will be fine soon." Chang Ning frowned, bandaged Xiao Sheng's wound and said, "If you are injured, go back first."
"I won't return! I can continue to serve the princess!" That Xiaosheng was a loyal guard.
"Okay, don't be brave, we have a lot of people, so you can go back at ease!" Chang Ning tied up the handkerchief tightly and tied it in a small knot, "Besides, we can't take this big guy running all over the mountains and forests, can we? You help me Take it back first!"
Since he received his order, the Xiaosheng was also indistinguishable.After resting with everyone for a while, Chang Ning led his subordinates to continue hunting for the white tiger, while the injured guard returned the hunted tiger camel back to camp on horseback.According to everyone's discussion, if Xiaosheng brought the tiger back to the camp, it would be considered as Princess Changning's meritorious service. There are not a few retainers in the camp. At that time, one more person can come to fill the vacancy, and it is still safe for now.
After the discussion, everyone parted ways.However, the young man returning to the camp would never have thought that on the way back to the camp, he would bump into the cavalry team of the First Prince hunting.A group of people came in a mighty way, and the little student couldn't dodge in time, and bumped into the head.
"Bold! Who doesn't have eyes! How dare you block the eldest prince's way!" The person on the opposite side yelled loudly, and was about to whip his long whip to whip him.
"Eldest Prince, forgive me! Eldest Prince, forgive me!" The little guard felt aggrieved, obviously making a detour, but this group of people insisted on going against each other deliberately, and even provoked them with words.Although he felt aggrieved, he had no choice but to get off his horse and knelt down in front of the prince and all the ministers to salute.
"Where are you going after you stole my tiger?" The eldest prince reined in the reins, and looked at the guard opposite him with a half-smile. Seeing the way his forehead was tied, he already knew that the guard was Chang Ning's retainer.
The little boy gave a surprised look and was speechless.But his mind turned quickly, and he realized that this deliberate collision was aimed at seizing the tiger.Pulling the rein anxiously, he took two steps backwards. Before everyone could react, he suddenly jumped on his horse and fell off.
Headed to the depths of the woods.
If it was here, no one would dare to touch it, but fighting for merit is the top priority, and the eldest prince has nothing to gain. Seeing that Changning's retainers were transporting the prey alone, they thought of snatching it.It's so easy to kill a guard without a trace. At worst, it's a raptor attack, and it's done without anyone noticing.
There were several arrows attacking behind him, and the guard's horse must not be able to run fast with the man and the tiger on its back.Before he took a few steps, even the horse and the man were shot to the ground.
"Kill him!" The eldest prince was excited, and was about to catch up with the guard with his horse.
Fortunately, the little guard was nimble and rolled into the woods. When the eldest prince wanted to pursue him, several arrows flew over from the sky, stopping the eldest prince's pursuit.
"Bold! Who is presumptuous!" While covering the retreat of the eldest prince, everyone did not forget to drag the tiger as a trophy.
Seeing dozens of arrows falling from the body of the dying little guard, he thought that the man would not be able to last too long, so the eldest prince and his party were afraid of being ambushed, so they turned around and left the place.
"Your Highness, what should I do with that retainer of Lord Xianping?" After the secret forest, a group of men with their faces hidden appeared one after another.
"Why don't you make good use of such a good thing?" The prince smiled, narrowing his sinister eyes. "Throwing that man to the gate of the camp, today is really a good day. It is really gratifying to be able to eradicate two opponents in one fell swoop."
Prince Chang Ming pulled the reins, turned leisurely, and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered Xian Ping Jun asking, "Is Chang Ning here yet?"
"Return to Your Highness, Mr. Xian Ping has gone astray, I have asked someone to guide me, I guess it will take a while." The vassal responded.
Seeing the crown prince waving his hand, the group of masked men retreated into the woods again, while the crown prince Chang Ming walked leisurely and returned to the resting crowd. The subordinates were chatting and laughing, and in front of them, people were dying around their heads The white tiger was amazed again and again.
Prince, it is a sure bet.
When Su Yaosheng became more and more disturbed, a bloody attendant ran out outside the hunting ground.There was still an arrow sticking out of her back, the female relatives had never seen such a scene, and they were screaming in fright.
Among the crowd, Yao Sheng had already recognized the guard's attire, he was Chang Ning's follower, his heart contracted suddenly, and Yao Sheng was so painful that he narrowly fell down and rushed over.
If it is said that people are injured every year due to autumn hunting, but the guards have arrows stuck in their backs, but anyone with a brain can see that it is man-made rather than hunting injuries.
After a few steps, the little guard was surrounded by everyone.even have leisure tea
The emperor also rushed up.
"Elder...prince, the eldest prince robbed... Lord Xianping's tiger..." Before the guard could say a few words, he fell headlong and passed out.
It was still lively before, but everyone fell into a dead silence, and the fratricide was still broken in front of everyone. What an embarrassing scene.
Seeing the changing face of the emperor, from white to green, from blue to red, he gritted his teeth and called General Fu Lang, "Go and find Chang Hong Chang Ning and come back, I want to see him right away!"
"Yes!" The soldiers and horses hand-picked by the emperor quickly assembled, and after only a moment, they rushed into the hunting ground.
Su Yaosheng looked at the direction of the hunting ground with cold eyes. Her complexion was also not good. After standing in the cold wind for nearly a day, her lips trembled slightly from the cold, but she still gritted her teeth and endured it. When no one saw her, Su Yaosheng's eyes quietly glowed. moisture.Chang Ning was stubborn, saying that she refused to listen to him several times, and he had scolded that person countless times in his heart, but he only felt powerless and sore in his heart.A pair of hands hidden under the cuffs couldn't stop trembling, she only remembered Chang Ning saying: "When I win the first prize, I will ask my father to marry me."
In the depths of the hunting ground, Chang Ning didn't say anything, but his heart became more and more anxious. He looked at the sky and urged the horse to go fast. Hunting was much more difficult than imagined. It is difficult for inexperienced people to detect the presence of wild animals. Traces, searching aimlessly like her, the efficiency is really poor.
The sunset in autumn is fast, but seeing the sky getting late, Changning really panicked.Hastily glanced over, and suddenly pulled the reins, there were clearly traces of claws scratching on a tree in front of him, Chang Ning looked at the weeds that were taller than a person, and he still led his retainers to search.
"Cheer up and protect the princess." The guards beside him became alert, and they surrounded Chang Ning in the middle.
Tracking all the way, seeing some traces on the ground, Chang Ning slowed down.Above their heads, a man in black made a gesture, and saw many people hiding in the canopy above their heads.
After searching step by step, gradually, some blood stains appeared on the ground, mottled with traces of dragging. Chang Ning was ecstatic, and he called everyone to prepare weapons. With a longbow in hand, a group of people traced along the traces.
When everyone finally walked out of the barren grassland, the group stopped.A pitch-black cave appeared in front of him, and the mottled blood stains continued all the way into the cave. The sun couldn't shine in, and there was a cold air, like a bloody mouth, waiting for the prey to visit.
"Master, it's too dark, and I don't know what's going on inside, or forget it." The guard on the side seemed to be
Embarrassed, for fear that the princess might make a mistake.
Chang Ning looked up at the sky, the sun was already slanting to the west, and it would be dark in a short time, they didn't have much time, now Haikou boasted and went back in despair, how could they have the face to meet Yao Sheng?
"Come in!" Chang Ning gritted his teeth.Even if she only hunted two tigers today, she still has a way to mediate with the emperor, but one... is really too reluctant.
A group of people gathered local materials, made some torches, and then went to the cave.
But they didn't know that there was a group of people accompanying them behind the scenes, and one of them was actually Su Yaosheng's eldest brother Su Haichao, hiding in the dark, as if waiting for Chang Ning and his party to enter the cave.
General Fu Lang's cavalry had just left the front field at this time, seeing the prince and his party returning with a full load of prey, large and small, their morale was high and they were heading back to the camp.
"His Royal Highness!" Fu Lang quickly got off his horse and saluted.
"How did Fu Lang come? But which son is asking for help?" The prince looked serious, looked at the mighty team in front of him and said: "If you are in danger, you can send the lonely person to go with you!"
"Oh, no need, Your Highness, the sky is about to fall, and the hunting ground is full of dangers at night, so it is safer for me to go." Nafu Lang replied, "And ask Your Highness if you know where Mr. Xianping has left?" direction?"
The prince frowned and said with concern: "But Seventh Sister is in danger?"
"No, no, it's just that I hurt a retainer. Seeing that it was getting late, His Majesty asked the minister to wait for the response, so as not to worry about the princess getting lost in the dark." Fu Lang would not know the truth, and still sighed in his heart about the deep love between brother and sister.
"I have never met Seventh Sister when I was hunting in the lonely afternoon. All the sons and daughters I met along the way from the east also went with me. Let's go and look for the west. Seventh Sister is playful, please trouble Fu Lang Already!" The prince was polite, and he sent his entourage to search for him, and then he continued to return to the camp.
Looking at the darkening night, a faint smile appeared on Prince Changming's face, west?I'm afraid I can't find it even if I find Heitian.After today, no one will be able to shake his position. When all the dust settles, it won't be a matter of time before he marries Yaosheng, wins over the Su family, and becomes king.
But he said that Chang Ning entered the cave with his followers.
"Princess, stand back." The guards beside him were cautious before entering the cave not far away. The group of people held long weapons and formed a defensive posture.In the darkness, even though there was a faint light from the torch, facing the endless darkness, it was still impossible to see anything clearly.Quiet to the extreme, as the sound of the friction of the gravel under the feet gradually deepened, in
From the other end of the cave, the panting sound of the beast was faintly heard.
Chang Ning turned his head and looked back at the cave entrance, forced himself to calm down, stopped everyone and said, "If the situation is not right, we will withdraw from the cave and don't want to fight."
"Yes!" Everyone replied with a suppressed voice. In the darkness, the unknown danger was creepy. They didn't dare to take it lightly. They walked slowly, and the shields in their hands had formed an iron wall.
At this time, a gap was opened in the middle of the shield, and everyone tried their best to hold up the torches and look around.Suddenly, at the end of the darkness, there were two strands of dim light flickering, and everyone held their breaths.Chang Ning held the longbow and shot three arrows at the same time, and fired the full bow at the Youguang, "Attention..."
"Swish-boom!" The sound seemed to be shot on the flesh.
Then the black shadow roared, as if it was in pain, but it didn't sound like a tiger roaring.Seeing the gloomy light getting higher and higher, everyone kept staring at it, and slowly raised their eyes, Chang Ning held his breath, "It's a bear!"
Everyone was surprised, but Chang Ning didn't stop. In an instant, more than a dozen arrows were shot, and the bear was furious. The only sound was the sound of sharp claws scratching the ground, and it was creepy.Chang Ning hurriedly greeted: "Get out! Quickly get out!"
Seeing that they were no match, everyone turned around and fled out of the cave, but no one would have guessed that when they turned around, there happened to be a giant stone roller at the entrance of the cave, and with a bang, the entrance of the cave was sealed until only a circle of afterglow remained.
"Defend! Defend!" Chang Ning gritted his teeth and shot an arrow!The shield array behind him was set up again in a panic.
A guard rushed to the entrance of the cave to check the situation, pushed hard for a while, and slipped under his feet, but the boulder did not move at all, and he searched around and found no gaps to escape.
Among the crowd, only Chang Ning was the first to realize that this was a trap, they were being tricked.Hurriedly throwing away the longbow in his hand, Chang Ning hurriedly took off the three-edged spear on his back for defense, and when he raised his head, the extremely strong brown bear was overwhelmingly crushing him.
"Bloodletting!" Chang Ning gritted his teeth and wrestled. In the darkness, four strong men raised a shield in one hand and held a barbed trident in the other against the brown bear to prevent it from approaching.Under the hard support, the remaining Chang Ning and the other three people stabbed the brown bear's torso frantically with the three-edged gun.Blood flowed profusely from the triangular opening, but the brown bear was so strong that it tore the shield out of shape with just one palm.
Meanwhile, in camp, bonfires blaze in what should be a feast of conviviality.At this time, all the ministers knelt on the ground, and no one dared to speak.
The female relatives were driven far away, all secretly looking at the sight in front of them
battles.Su Yaosheng raised his head and looked at the stars all over the sky, feeling exhausted, clutching Chang Ning's cloak tightly, uneasy, staring at Yingkou for a moment, but did not see Chang Ning's return for a long time.
"Slap!" The emperor was furious, and stretched out his hand to slap the eldest prince across the face!Gritting his teeth and pulling at Chang Hong's collar, he angrily said, "Where is Chang Ning!"
"Father... Royal father, I really don't know!" Chang Hong was extremely embarrassed, kneeling on the ground and trembling, seeing his father raised his arms again, Chang Hong was so frightened that he hugged his head tightly and dodged.
"If Changning doesn't come back, all of you will be buried with Changning!" The emperor slapped Changhong on the back of the head several times.
But no matter how anxious and flustered it is, it will not help.Outside the hunting ground, soldiers would report every once in a while, but they all shook their heads and remained silent. Chang Ning seemed to have disappeared.
All this fell in Yao Sheng's eyes, but there was one person who was particularly eye-catching, that is the prince's party, Chang Ming's face was not disturbed, and the elder brother Su Haichao, who knelt behind his father also had a calm expression.Yao Sheng repeatedly thought about the abnormal behavior of his elder brother these days, and he was sure that the prince was doing the ghost.
If it was really planned by the prince, would you like to save Changning's life?Yaosheng raised his head hastily, pursed his lips stubbornly, and refused to show a trace of panic.
"Mr. Xianping—"
"Dedication-Ping-Jun-"
In the hunting ground, the calls of the soldiers came one after another. In the night, all the soldiers held torches in every corner, but there was still no one.
At this time, the cave was pitch black, and it was eeriely silent, leaving only the people lingering.Chang Ning leaned against the boulder at the entrance of the cave, clutching his shoulders, trembling unceasingly, and his shoulders were burning with pain, as if they had been torn apart.It felt like the blood was gushing uncontrollably, making his clothes wet and sticky.
How strong can a bear be?Chang Ning looked at the bent long fork in his hand and knew the answer.The leg was pressed by the brown bear's body, and Chang Ning couldn't pull it out, so he simply gave up struggling and leaned against the boulder, shaking in pain.
"Dedicated—Ping—Jun—"
There was a faint call from the cave, and Chang Ning was overjoyed, and quickly responded: "Here!!!"
But she lost her strength a long time ago, even if her throat was broken by shouting, the voice could not be heard very far.He simply held the bent long fork and beat the deformed shield desperately.
"Here!! The princess is here!!!" After a while, there was a fire outside the cave through the cracks in the boulders, and Chang Ning hurriedly called for help.
When a group of people finally moved the boulder through a gap, of the eight people, only three survived.Bloody smell
Chang Ning was rescued in a panic.
Until the flames outside the camp burned to the sky, corpses were carried back to the camp.Mr. Xianping still insisted on riding back by himself, and the crowd behind him carried a huge beast. Only then did Chang Ning know that eight people actually killed a nearly three-meter-high brown bear.
There was no praise or celebration, but when Chang Ning knelt in front of his father, what he received was a resounding slap in the face.
"Let you know how to measure!" The emperor stared at Chang Ning bitterly.
Behind them, when the huge monster was thrown to the ground with a bang, everyone looked at Chang Ning as if they were looking at a monster.Even Prince Changming didn't expect that Changning not only came back alive, but also killed the giant beast.
"Father, Chang Ning has something to ask." Chang Ning didn't care, but felt dizzy in front of her eyes. She was afraid that if she missed the opportunity in front of her, she would disappoint Yao Sheng.
"Chang Ning, I would like to make a long-term covenant with Yao Sheng, and ask my father to fulfill it." Chang Ning hunched his body tiredly, still trembling and respectful in front of him.
The people around were noisy and whispering, and the female relatives looked at Su Yaosheng in surprise, but they saw Su Yaosheng frowning, looking at Changning's back, not knowing what it meant.
"Chang Ning! You are shameless, father, you want more! You want to make the world laugh at me?" The crown prince was surprised, and hurriedly stopped shouting, and the officials became even more noisy.
"Father! You are not joking! Chang Ning begs for Yao's life!" Chang Ning's voice overwhelmed everyone, only the emperor remained silent with a dark face, and the prince suddenly realized.
"Where is Su Yao's birth?" The emperor looked at Su Lingqing with a dark face, obviously Lingqing didn't know, because he was more shocked by the news before him than anyone else.
"I... don't know..."
Yaosheng took a deep breath and stood out among the female relatives.
"I just think they are abnormal, you see, it really is like this."
"impossible?!"
"Is it Mr. Xianping's wishful thinking?"
There were discussions behind him one after another, Chang Ning turned around and looked at Su Yaosheng with a smile, they were supposed to be the most brilliant couple tonight, but unfortunately, Chang Ning was too embarrassed, not worthy of Yaosheng's natural softness.
Everyone's eyes were on Yao Sheng, but Yao Sheng only had one person in his eyes.Chang Ning was sloppy, his robe was stained with blood, and he struggled to lift one arm.Tonight is ridiculous, but Yaosheng feels that doing anything is a waste of time, she just wants to drag Changning back to the tent to rest, and wants to ask the imperial doctor to relieve the pain between Changning's eyebrows and eyes.
Time seemed to have stopped flowing. Looking at Changning, Yaosheng felt his eyes were burning.
Can you still laugh?There was an inexplicable sound of cracking strings in her ear, and Yaosheng couldn't react in time. She saw Chang Ning turn his eyes, staggered and struggled to get up, and rushed towards her with fear in his eyes.
"Chang..." Before Yaosheng could utter his words, he saw Changning rushing towards him with his arms outstretched in panic, pushing Yaosheng staggeringly, but an arrow cut Changning's shoulder. Falls to the ground with a deflected shot.
In an instant, the camp was in chaos, with screams and roars.
But Changning suddenly struggled to get up from the ground, grabbed Yaosheng and pulled him behind him, ran to the emperor and opened his arms.
"Protect the emperor! Catch the assassin!" Chang Ning commanded the soldiers who hadn't reacted yet, and everyone took action.
Yaosheng looked at the arrow stuck on his shoulder, his mind went blank, he couldn't hear anything clearly, and he watched the bright red blood stains on his robe fainted in circles, Chang Ning, desperately protecting her Behind him, he directed everyone to be on guard.
In a blink of an eye, the soldiers surrounded the dragon seat, and when they killed the assassin in the jungle behind the camp, the assassin took his own life first.
Everyone was in chaos, Yao Sheng was frightened, and unconsciously stretched out his hand to pull Chang Ning's sleeve. The man felt it, and looked back, the warm light of the bonfire reflected Chang Ning's profile, she was extremely embarrassed, but she was still gentle He smiled, but before his eyes could touch the person he was thinking about, he fell down in front of Yao Sheng.
"Changning!"
"Ning'er!"
Some people were busy scurrying around, while others were completely insane. The scene was extremely chaotic, and the soldiers stationed on three floors surrounded the camp.
"Imperial Physician! Xuan Imperial Physician!!!" Wei Sigong hurriedly greeted, his sharp voice overwhelmed all the panic, and Chang Ning was carried to the princess tent.
"Okay, tonight is really shocking and
