Chapter 477: To Each His Heart
Xuanyuan Che felt that if Qi Fangfei could win the emperor's favor, it would not be a bad thing for him, so he also agreed to her to participate. And although Qi Fangfei didn't say it, Xuanyuan Che always knew that Qi Fangfei was a little angry with Murong Xuanji, and felt that he was suppressed by Murong Xuanji, whether it was his family background or the emperor's favor, he was not as good as Murong Xuanji, and he also wanted to teach her a good lesson.
Xuanyuan Che was wondering if Qi Fangfei had taught you Murong Xuanji success, but he felt that it was a little unlikely, Murong Xuanji was the daughter of a general, not only knew martial arts, but also led troops to fight foreign enemies, but Qi Fangfei was just the daughter of a prime minister, how could a woman who was powerless fight a woman who knew martial arts.
"The Great Prince!" Just when Xuanyuan Che was thinking about it, someone shouted Xuanyuan Che at the door, and only walked in after hearing Xuanyuan Che's voice, "The eldest prince, I saw the third prince leave the camp with the ninth prince." ”
"Where did they go?" Xuanyuan Che stood up with some excitement and asked.
"Looking at the appearance of the Nine Emperor Princes and the Third Prince, the two of them should have gone hunting in the forest." The retinue came in and reported to Xuanyuan Che.
"Hunting?" Xuanyuan Che thought for a while, thinking that Xuanyuan Hao didn't want to hunt on the surface, but he went to hunt alone in secret, in fact, he wanted to get rid of himself, and then he hunted to win the first place to win the emperor's favor, and Xuanyuan Mo also followed, Xuanyuan Che felt that he couldn't fall behind, and immediately ordered: "You go and prepare my horses and bows and arrows, and I will also go to the woods." ”
"Yes!" The retinue immediately hurried away to prepare what Xuanyuan had ordered. And Xuanyuan Che didn't waste time, and immediately prepared and left the tent.
"Haven't you had the whereabouts of the Nine Emperor Princesses yet?" Xuanyuan Hao rode his horse through the woods and asked his entourage.
The attendant shook his head and said with some shame: "Not yet." ”
Xuanyuan Hao's expression sank for a moment, and he asked, "Which road is the road that the Nine Emperor Princesses walked in the morning?" Xuanyuan Hao couldn't wait for the others to find him, and decided to find Murong Xuanji's whereabouts by himself.
"This way!" The attendant pointed to a path and said, "I have inquired about it, and the Nine Emperor Princesses followed this path into the woods in the morning, and there has been no trace of the Nine Emperor Princesses since then." ”
Xuanyuan Hao glanced at that road, and immediately rode his horse along that road to find Murong Xuanji.
"What about the Nine Emperors?" Xuanyuan Mo, who came one step late, didn't find Xuanyuan Hao's figure, and immediately asked his henchman, and chased Xuanyuan Hao under the guidance of his henchman, and the sound of him leaving was seen by Xuanyuan Che, who arrived in time, and Xuanyuan Che chased him in that direction without thinking about it.
After walking for a while, Xuanyuan Hao found the sound of horses' hooves behind him, so he deliberately slowed down the speed of the horse, which happened to be an eagle in the air, Xuanyuan Hao suddenly picked up an arrow and shot an arrow at the eagle in the air, which happened to hit the eagle. Xuanyuan Hao nodded with satisfaction, handed the bow and arrow to the entourage on the side, and when he was about to ride over to get the eagle he shot, he inadvertently saw Xuanyuan Mo not far away.
Knowing that he was discovered by Xuanyuan Hao, Xuanyuan Mo did not dodge in a panic, but rode over to Xuanyuan Hao generously.
"Brother Nine Emperor is good at archery, and he actually hit that eagle with one arrow. No wonder you won the race that day. Xuanyuan Mo smiled hypocritically, as if the unhappiness that happened with Xuanyuan Hao before was just an illusion.
"Why did the Third Emperor Brother come here to hunt?" Xuanyuan Hao asked knowingly. As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of horses' hooves coming here, and when I turned my head, I saw that it was Xuanyuan Che.
"It seems that our three brothers are really fateful, and the forest is so big that we can meet here." Xuanyuan Mopi said with a smile, "Brother Great Emperor still came out to hunt, I thought you were resting in the tent." ”
"You and the Nine Emperor Brothers have come out to hunt, how can I still sit in the tent, and of course I will hunt together." Xuanyuan said meaningfully. Seeing an eagle that had been shot down on the ground, just when he was about to open his mouth to ask who shot it, he saw the arrow engraved with Xuanyuan Hao's name on the eagle's body, so he sneered and said: "The Nine Emperor Brothers have gained so quickly, it seems that today's hunting competition is a bit fierce." ”
"Brother Huang thinks a little too much, I never compete with others, even if I want to compete, I compare myself with myself." Xuanyuan Hao said with a cold look.
"It turns out that the Nine Emperor Brothers don't put anyone in their eyes at all." Xuanyuan Mo deliberately misinterpreted Xuanyuan Hao's meaning in front of Xuanyuan Che, "Brother Emperor, it seems that your opponent today doesn't take you seriously at all!" ”
"Shut up." Originally, Xuanyuan Che was in a bad mood, especially after hearing Xuanyuan Hao's words, his heart was even more unhappy, at this time, Xuanyuan Mo was fanning the flames on the side, and it seemed that he was not angry and did not give up, so that Xuanyuan Che was completely out of control and roared at Xuanyuan Mo.
"Brother Huang is in a bad mood, don't need to lose your temper with me." Not only did Xuanyuan Mo not restrain himself, but he wanted to stimulate Xuanyuan more and more excessively.
"If you two want to quarrel here, I can't accompany you. Leave. Xuanyuan Hao didn't care about the turbulent waves between the two now, and continued to walk forward on horseback.
Xuanyuan Mo and Xuanyuan Che glanced at each other, the two of them turned their heads in unison, and both of them followed Xuanyuan Hao slowly towards the front with their own concerns.
"Master." Secret whisper suddenly rode back from a distance, and immediately came to his side after seeing Xuanyuan Hao, and whispered in his ear: "Master, we have found some clues. Someone caught a rabbit and found that the rabbit had an arrow wound on its foot, but it was dressed with herbs and picked up with a white handkerchief, which was very similar to that used by the Nine Emperor Princesses. Whisper handed a used white handkerchief to Xuanyuan Hao.
Xuanyuan Hao took a closer look at Bai Pa, found that there was a flower in the corner, and said with certainty: "It was used by Xuanji, in what direction did you find it, hurry up and lead the way." Xuanyuan Hao was a little impatient to find Murong Xuanji.
"Nine Emperor Brothers, are you okay?" Xuanyuan Mo saw Xuanyuan Hao and Secret Whisper's solemn faces, and knew that there was something important between the two, so he asked tentatively.
Xuanyuan Hao turned around and found that he didn't know that Xuanyuan Mo and Xuanyuan Che had come to his side, and he didn't want them to know about Murong Xuanji, so he said to the secret whisper casually: "You go and do things first." ”
Xuanyuan Mo knew that Xuanyuan Hao would not tell him, so he smiled unmindfully and said, "If the Nine Emperor Brothers have nothing to do, why don't we come to the competition and hunt, what do you think, Great Emperor Brother?" ”
Although Xuanyuan Che didn't understand Xuanyuan Mo's intentions, he also saw that Xuanyuan Hao seemed to have something to hide and didn't want to leave, so he reluctantly nodded and agreed: "I've always wanted to compete with the Nine Emperor Brothers, and it depends on whether the Nine Emperor Brothers give me this face." ”
Although it was an inquiring tone, Xuanyuan Hao still heard the meaning of Xuanyuan Che's words, once he rejected Xuanyuan Che, he didn't give him face, he deliberately went against him, although the relationship between the two was indeed not very good, but since Xuanyuan Che said so, Xuanyuan Hao didn't want to wipe his face too much.
"Since the eldest prince has proposed several times that he wants to compete in hunting, then I have no choice but to accompany him." Although Xuanyuan Hao was worried about Murong Xuanji, he didn't forget that there were still people to deal with.
"Since the eldest brother and the ninth emperor brother are both interested in competing, then let's have a good competition." Xuanyuan Mo seemed to be very excited.
The three rode their horses deeper into the woods.
"Ahh Lan Ling'er, who had been hiding on the side, suddenly shouted, although Baoqing tried his best to protect her, but the longer the time dragged on, the more physical strength was consumed, and Qi Fangfei also took the opportunity to deal with Lan Ling'er.
Baoqing saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately rushed over to pull Lan Ling'er aside, and the defenseless Baoqing was kicked by Qi Fangfei, but Baoqing couldn't care about the pain in his body at all, and when Qi Fangfei attacked again, he supported his gradually exhausted body to fight back.
"Baoqing, be careful." Seeing that Baoqing was about to be beaten by Qi Fangfei and Chu Wanwan several times, Lan Ling'er shouted with a worried and nervous face.
Although Baoqing's physical strength was a little exhausted, Qi Fangfei and Chu Wanwan gradually felt tired, and their attacks were much less powerful.
"This woman is too difficult to deal with." Chu Wanwan said with some complaints, "No wonder Murong Xuanji takes her with her every time she goes, it seems that she has some skills." ”
Qi Fangfei gasped slightly and glared at Baoqing, not expecting that neither of her nor Chu Wanwan could beat her, thinking about how to solve her and Lan Ling'er.
While Qi Fangfei and Chu Wanwan were thinking of a way, Lan Ling'er also helped Baoqing, who was unstable, to look at Qi Fangfei and Chu Wanwan defensively, and also wanted Baoqing to take advantage of this time to rest and recover his strength.
In the midst of this stalemate, the sound of horses' hooves was suddenly heard in the distance. Qi Fangfei and Chu Wanwan glanced at each other nervously, thinking that no one would come to such a remote place.
"What should I do?" Chu Wanwan looked at Qi Fangfei a little panicked and asked, "Are you sure you weren't followed when you came over just now?" ”
"I'm sure there wasn't anyone at that time." Qi Fangfei couldn't help but get nervous, if Baoqing and Lan Ling'er were discovered, then the fact that she and Chu Wanwan killed Murong Xuanji together would be known, not to mention that the identity of the eldest princess could not be saved, and she might not even be able to save her own life.
"Baoqing?" Lan Ling'er saw Baoqing suddenly holding her hand, looked at her with some puzzlement, and saw her make a look at herself, although Lan Ling'er didn't know Baoqing's purpose, but she was also smart and didn't ask anything, everything was waiting for Baoqing's arrangement.
Baoqing slowly approached Lan Ling'er, pretending to be weak and unstable and leaning on her shoulder, and whispered in Lan Ling'er's ear while Qi Fangfei and Chu Wanwan were not paying attention: "Wait a minute, I will squeeze your hand hard, and you will immediately turn around and run with me." ”
"Run? Can we run away? Lan Ling'er said with little confidence. There is still a long way to go from the camp here, even if you don't go back to the camp, go back to the place where you were separated from the others before, it will be better to ride a horse for a while, let alone run, and Baoqing has been fighting with Qi Fangfei and Chu Wanwan for so long just now, and his physical strength has long been exhausted, and he doesn't have any martial arts, so he is usually tired after shopping for a long time, let alone running so far
"I'll take you along and run a little bit, and when we get back into the woods, with those trees as cover, we can hide for a while." Baoqing whispered, "In short, trust me in everything." ”
