Chapter 200: Assassination in the Jungle (I)
From Chang'an to Youzhou, the distance is more than 100 kilometers.
Even if Li Chengyang traveled overnight, it would take almost three days.
There was no way to compare with the speed of the Turks, who only took a little more than a day and a night to march overnight.
Who told him to make a carriage?
But it's not bad, just eat and drink all the way.
Before you know it, a day has passed.
After Li Chengyang found that the dried fruits in the cupboard had bottomed out, he realized that he couldn't be so extravagant.
He stopped the carriage and asked the guards if they had any more dry food with them.
Then the three of them were disgusted by a slimy unidentified object.
You can definitely eat it, but this is a good look.
A bunch of batter, as if mixed with some mutton fat or something, is dry food when fried.
When it's time to eat, mix it with some hot water and eat.
Li Chengyang looked at this inexplicable thing, raised his hand several times and gave up several times.
"Well, give it back to them, I'd rather starve to death than eat this thing."
Xiao'er nodded in agreement, the bowl of dry food reminded her of the yellow unknown slimy thing that a certain child would produce every day.
Li Shizhi didn't care, she had eaten this thing before.
It's a little ugly, but it's still edible, and the taste is okay.
Seeing that the two of them didn't eat, Li Shi picked up the bowl and wanted to put it in his mouth.
"Don't!"
Li Chengyang and Xiao'er shouted in unison.
Li Chengyang looked at Li Shi: "If you eat today, don't think about getting into my carriage!" ”
Xiao'er looked at Li Shi, then at Li Chengyang, stood firmly behind Li Chengyang, and expressed her attitude with her actions.
Li Shi looked at the two helplessly, sighed and handed the bowl out.
Then he took Li Chengyang out of the carriage.
It's already far away from Chang'an, and their current location is roughly halfway between Youzhou and Chang'an.
This place is not in front of the village, there is no shop behind, and there is no population at all.
Li Shi looked at the surrounding situation and had some thoughts in his heart.
There is definitely a lot of game in this kind of place.
Immediately said like Li Chengyang: "Young master, you are waiting here, I will take a few people to catch a few prey and come back." ”
Li Chengyang raised his eyebrows: "Okay, let's go together, I haven't wandered around for a day and a night,
This time I took this opportunity to breathe through the air. ”
After a while, Li Chengyang came to everyone with a smile wearing a thick fur fur:
"Okay, let's all go find directions to hunt, the range of activity is two miles,
Fight as much as you can, preferably enough to eat three days of prey,
There is no need to stop to hunt along the way. ”
The guards were ordered to disperse, and Li Chengyang hugged the Tiger King from the carriage behind.
The three of them chose a direction and walked straight forward.
The Tiger King is now half a man tall, and his strength and weight are growing rapidly.
And it is also the best age to build trust with people, Li Chengyang naturally can't go out without it.
Soon they came to a large flat field.
There are no people here, and there are no fields.
This kind of place with thick dead grass is the best place for rabbits to survive.
The grass grows very tall, and even now it is more than half a man's height when it is all withered and yellow.
When Li Chengyang was still worrying about how to find the prey from here, his father roared excitedly and then burrowed into the grass.
Then there was a flurry of chickens and dogs.
Seriously, it should be a rabbit jump.
The Tiger King kept running in the grass and spreading joy, which made the aborigines here miserable.
Wherever the Tiger King ran, a few pheasants flew out from time to time.
Li Chengyang looked at the pheasants with disgust and ignored them.
This thing looks so big, but it doesn't have much meat after plucking.
There is basically no problem with one domestic chicken and three of him.
And the meat of this pheasant had a foul smell and was so unpalatable that he had eaten their losses before hunting.
It's still a rabbit, and the rabbit at this time is the fattest time.
For a whole summer and more than half of the autumn, they were carefree and ate.
There are very few of their natural predators in this place, so all of them must be fat and strong.
Li Chengyang's saliva was about to flow out.
Soon, the first rabbit jumped up in a panic and leaked out of the grass.
"Whoosh"
The sound of the crossbow in Li Shi's hand sounded, and a black shadow shot out.
The rabbit hit the ground in response, and Li Chengyang hurriedly walked over to look, and a crossbow arrow hit the rabbit's eyebrows.
Gave a thumbs up to Li Shi, a master.
The Tiger King was still spreading joy in the grass, running to Li Chengyang's side from time to time to rub, and then rushed back again.
Li Chengyang also let it mess around, and seriously speaking, this is the first time that the Tiger King has played so freely.
The crossbow arrows brought by Li Shi had already been shot empty, and a bunch of prey had been piled up around Li Chengyang.
It's basically all rabbits, except for one roe deer that doesn't know why it's here.
The Tiger King returned to his side again, holding a chubby rabbit in his mouth and throwing it at Li Chengyang's feet.
Ever since he sensed that his master seemed to be interested in these rabbits, he had also become interested in these bouncing gadgets.
Li Chengyang rubbed the Tiger King's head fiercely, praised it, and then let it continue to play.
Anyway, it's still early, so I can go back before dark.
Xiao'er squatted beside the pile of rabbits wrapped in a fur coat and chanted a word.
waited for Li Chengyang to come over curiously before he heard what she said again:
"This one is fat, this one has more meat, wow, this belly is so big,
At first glance, it looks like an edible ......."
Li Chengyang took out the fattest rabbit funny: "Hungry? Then let's eat it today,
In the evening, the young master will cook for you and cook something delicious. ”
Xiao'er nodded embarrassedly, and it didn't take long for her to play happily again.
Li Chengyang looked at her dotingly, after all, she was a twelve-year-old girl,
Before in the palace, she had to show some maturity that was not in line with her age, only now,
It was only after a few of them were gone that she revealed her true nature.
Good thing, being depressed at a young age for too long is prone to problems.
laughing and having fun, holding a few small wooden sticks and scratching and pulling something, Li Chengyang didn't care.
There is a stream on one side, so just clean up the rabbit in advance and go back and roast it directly.
Seeing that Li Chengyang was busy there, Li Shi looked around, and also brought a rabbit to clean up with him.
Soon, the two rabbits were washed clean and slippery, and they were ready to go into the pot.
Li Chengyang looked back at the smile, still having fun.
Don't rush, it's not dark yet.
I simply brought a few more rabbits over and continued to deal with them.
It didn't take long for the remaining rabbits to be disposed of, and Xiao'er started to catch the bugs again.
Li Chengyang got up and moved his stiff waist, and was about to go and get some rabbits over.
"Young Master, wait."
As soon as Li Chengyang was about to leave, Li Shi called out to him.
When I looked back, I realized that I was now looking serious.
"What's wrong? Any questions? Li Chengyang asked curiously.
Li Shi said solemnly: "How long has the Tiger King gone?" ”
Li Chengyang thought about it, and it took about half an hour to deal with these rabbits.
Indeed, what about the Tiger King, he will come back a little before?
"Could it be that the Tiger King ran away?" Li Chengyang's face also became a little serious.
But immediately shook his head again, it was impossible for the Tiger King to run.
The person who trained it used the stunt of the beginning of the world, which Li Shimin helped to find, and people don't know how long ago they were with the tiger, and they haven't gone wrong for many years.
Otherwise, Li Shimin would not have been able to teach him this kind of thing.
Then there must be something else.
Immediately stopped caring about the rabbit, glanced at Li Shi, and hurriedly ran to Xiao'er's side.
The two slowly retreated towards the camp one after the other.
Xiao'er also found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and followed the two of them obediently, not daring to come out at all.
Li Chengyang blew a few whistles, hoping to get a response from the Tiger King.
But nothing has come back.
It's a lot of fun now, and something must be wrong.
I didn't care about the Tiger King, so I laughed and quickened my pace and ran to the camp.
Li Shi took out the dagger and followed the guard.
After walking a few steps like this, a terrible whistle sounded, and I don't know how far it spread on this empty plain.
Li Chengyang sighed in his heart, trouble is coming.
The whistle was not any sound he was familiar with, neither a call for help from the guards nor a response from the Tiger King.
Then it must be an outsider.
Just as he was about to pick up Xiao'er and run, whistles came from all directions.
Immediately after, all the men in black stood up.
Li Chengyang frowned and looked at it, roughly speaking, there were nearly two hundred people, and they almost formed a circle.
The circle is centered around the three of them, with a radius of about five hundred meters.
The pitch-black clothes look very eye-catching against the background of the withered yellow blades of grass.
Fortunately, there was no one on their way back.
Maybe those people didn't have time to block the last road, Li Chengyang and they realized some problems.
That's when the men in black launched an emergency attack.
Li Chengyang didn't say a word immediately, picked up Xiao'er and ran to the only exit.
Fortunately, these people don't have any bows and crossbows in their hands, and Datang also prohibits private possession of strong crossbows, otherwise they will definitely have no way to survive today.
Although the current situation is not very good, but fortunately, there is a way out.
The three of them almost turned into a gust of wind and rushed towards the gap.
The Assassins also hurried around.
Five hundred meters, not far, two minutes is enough for them to surround Li Chengyang in the middle.
What Li Chengyang can do is to compete with these people for time and see who can run faster.
Fortunately, both he and Li Shi have physical qualities far beyond ordinary people, and they just need to get out of the encirclement.
That's what I intended, but in fact no one is stupid.
The assassins around the gap had realized Li Chengyang's purpose and kept getting closer to each other.
The distance is getting closer, and the number of people there is growing.
From the sky, it was a black circle shrinking.
As the circle shrinks, the circle also becomes thicker.
It was the Assassins who kept coming together.
Soon, Li Chengyang was only 100 meters away from facing the nearest enemy.
Stopped, put down the obedient lying smile and handed it to Li Shi:
"You two take care of yourselves."
"Your Highness?" Li Shi wanted to say something, but Li Chengyang rushed forward without looking back, leaving only the last sentence:
"Follow me."
Li Shi gritted his teeth and chased after him with a smile.
Xiao'er threw down the fur fur on her body, and ran over with her steps.
Li Chengyang ran faster and faster, faster and faster.
Less than ten meters away from those people, he could see the fierce smell in their eyes.
Are you ruthless? I'm tougher than you.
Li Chengyang roared angrily and cheered himself up, lowered his head and rushed towards those people.
"I'm going to fucking kill you!"
