Chapter 304: Infatuation, why bother with human affairs
Accidents and sudden changes. Originally, within the scope of this hunting ground, the hundreds of cavalry and the spies of the Thousand Machine Pavilion who followed the princess into the mountain had already carried out a rigorous survey and cleanup. They were sure that there would be no more large, ferocious beasts, so they were relieved to let the princess hunt here.
But how could they have imagined that a tiger suddenly appeared from the slope of the mountain! The hungry tiger that came out to hunt was obviously chasing the horned deer, and it looked like it was about to have a full meal. But the deer was shot with an arrow and rolled down the hillside. Where is this tiger willing to give up? In this case, a horse and a person are enough for a big meal.
The wind suddenly sounded, and the mountains and forests howled. The Cloud Dragon, the Descending Mountain Tiger, was originally the most terrifying beast in the world. The tiger, with a huge momentum, pounced on it, as if everything in its way would be torn to pieces.
Seeing this scene in front of them, whether it was the cavalry soldiers of the Qi State or the Qianji Pavilion spies of the Zhao State, they were all shocked. If Her Royal Highness the Princess had made a mistake in the protection of so many people, then there was no doubt that it would be a gross dereliction of duty on the part of all of them. Don't say that they will never have the face to see King Zhao and King Qi again, it is just the shame and remorse in their hearts, and they have no shame to live anymore.
The bluebird jumped up from the rock, and before he could draw his knife, he jumped down. In this moment, he only felt the hot blood surging on his face, and his whole heart was beating hard. Seeing that the tiger's huge body blocked its vision, it had already pounced on the top of the princess's mount. He had only one thought in his heart, if the princess was killed or injured, then he could only use this life to compensate!
And the other people who rushed to rescue him were about the same as him. Her Royal Highness the Princess is the best sustenance in the hearts of these battlefield warriors. If they cause irreparable regret because of their mistakes, the only way to apologize is to die!
However, no matter how many lives they want to use to save the current crisis, it seems that it is too late. The ferocious tiger doesn't care about that. Its eyes are fixed on its prey. The eyes are fierce, the fangs are huge, and the sharp claws are about to tear people and horses in half. It seems that the next moment, it will be able to enjoy a delicious meal.
The crisis is coming, and it is a long shot. Out of the corner of Princess Sanssouci's eyes, she could already clearly see that the fangs in the bloody mouth were like steel teeth, and the fishy smell was blowing on her face. Whether it is bitten by it or scratched a paw, the end must be miserable. If she was still a former noble princess, then there was no doubt that she would definitely panic and wait to die. However, she is no longer carefree as before, and the woman who has experienced countless dangers, although she is frightened in her heart, she is not in danger.
It is impossible to escape at this juncture. Even on the battlefield, a war horse that has fearlessly charged in the face of thousands of troops and horses cannot escape in front of this colorful tiger. Its legs were so frightened that it almost collapsed on the ground.
Seeing the sharp edge of the furry claws, tearing through the air, it was about to shoot to the top of the head. It's late, it's fast. Princess Sanssouci did not hesitate, the longbow in her hand came out of her hand, and her body leaned back directly, rolled over and rolled off the horse. Before the body hit the ground, only a long hissing and mournful sound could be heard in his ears, but after the longbow was broken by the tiger's claws, it did not hinder it in the slightest. Several inches of claws pierced into the neck of the war horse, tearing the flesh and skin in an instant.
Princess Sanssouci grieved in her heart. This war horse has been following her for a long time, and gradually has feelings. But I didn't expect that I didn't die on the battlefield, but I died here today. After the body hit the ground, half of the body was in severe pain, and it must have been injured by the rocks. However, at this moment, she didn't care about that. Because, the evil wind behind it was not good, and the tiger refused to give up, abandoned the fallen war horse, jumped again, and pounced again.
Princess Sanssouci endured the pain and jumped to her side, but she was able to dodge the vital point, and the short sword she was carrying with her had been drawn. She looked at the tiger's left abdomen and stabbed it with all her strength. This sword was originally brought from the Qi Kingdom, and it is also a good sword that has been refined, although the skin and flesh of the tiger are strong, but the softness of the left abdomen cannot withstand the edge of this sword. The dagger is all in the handle, until it reaches the bone!
The tiger suffered pain and let out an earth-shattering roar. Princess Sanssouci was overjoyed, but before she could pull out her sword, the tiger's body turned suddenly, and the huge force shook her off, the sword was broken, she had to let go of her arm, and before she could react, the tiger's ultimate killing move had arrived!
It turns out that the reason why the tiger is called the king of beasts is not as simple as other ferocious beasts that can only bite. Its stunt is one pounce, two bites, and three tail swings! Its huge claws, sharp teeth, and thick tail are all powerful weapons for it to capture its prey.
Although Princess Sanssouci dodged her minions and sharp mouth, she was unprepared for a surprise attack from behind. The thick tiger's tail, like an iron rod, swept firmly with the sound of the wind. Hearing an exclamation of alarm not far away, Princess Sanssouci knew that something was wrong, but she wanted to avoid it completely, but it was too late.
In the midst of his busy schedule, the unarmed carefree tried his best to turn sideways and dodge the key point in his heart. The half of the tiger's tail swept over the ridge of her left shoulder, and a sharp pain came, and her body flipped out, and in the long grass, a mouthful of blood spurted out, spotted red, and quenched the green of the flowers and plants.
At the same time, the wounded tiger was completely enraged. Seeing the prey fall in the grass, it carried the short sword on its body, and bit it down. The smell of blood stimulated its red eyes, and it must have tasted very wonderful to this very delicate "prey" in front of it!
However, after a few breaths, the hungry tiger was doomed to not be able to eat its prey. A blade was cut off, and the bluebird that flew to the rescue finally arrived first. The angry leader of the Thousand Machines Pavilion had red eyes. He was like a mad tiger, standing in front of Princess Sanssouci, not caring about the injuries he suffered from rolling all the way down the hillside, and after hitting the blood with a knife, he continued to stop, and the knife was a big chopping trick.
This tiger was also unlucky, and finally came out to find food, but he didn't expect to meet such a crazy guy. After being stabbed several times in a row, the roaring tiger tried to escape, but it was impossible after all. A large number of armor soldiers surrounded him, raised their swords together, and chased and intercepted them until they were completely cut to the ground and killed them so that they could no longer die.
The maids and other attendants ran over in a panic and hurried to see the princess's situation. The maids helped her up in distress, and they were all so frightened that they were already crying. On the contrary, Princess Sanssouci endured the pain and deliberately pretended to smile and comforted them a few words.
However, the injuries she suffered were not light. I didn't feel anything under the tension just now, but now I only feel pain everywhere in my limbs. Especially the place where the tiger's tail swept has actually been shaken and suffered internal injuries. Fortunately, although she was not wearing armor, she was wearing a soft armor under her battle robe. That's why his life was saved.
"The situation in Zhongzhou is complicated, you must pay attention to your own safety over there! Under no circumstances should we be careless...... When you go out, be sure to wear this soft armor on your body. After all, be prepared, just in case. ”
Thinking of the Yin Yin entrustment on the letter when Chu Jiangmian sent someone to send this soft armor, Princess Sanssouci suddenly felt extremely sad in her heart. She wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth, her body shriveled in the arms of the maids, a kind of weakness and grievance suddenly struck, she couldn't hold back any longer, tears rolled down. The bitterness and longing for the pain seem to pour out with the pain.
Soon after, the people near Zhongzhou knew about Her Royal Highness the Princess's injury in Zhongyue Mountain. This is undoubtedly very shocking. And the news that came out afterwards was even more worrying. When the princess returned from the protection of the Qi soldiers, she fell ill because of her pain and melancholy. Moreover, the disease was ferocious, and although it was treated with all the help of the medical officers, not only did it not get better, but it became more and more serious within a few days. Because she was alone, the situation suddenly became tense. The sky over Zhongzhou was overcast, and the continuous rain did not stop for several days, and the sky seemed to be gloomy.
The impact of this incident is severe. And not only the general population began to become uneasy. Even the Great Zhou royal family in Los Angeles was alarmed. The royal brother Zimmer personally sent the court pharmacist with the best medical skills to visit here with the mighty condolence mission. But even then, it still didn't help. It didn't help the princess to regain her health.
In the past few days, in the entire Zhongshan Wangcheng and inside and outside the camp where the Qi army was stationed, everyone was in a heavy mood and the atmosphere was anxious. They look forward to good news every day, but it is always disappointing. The personal maids and guards from the Qi Kingdom had already sent someone to report the princess's physical condition to the King and Queen of Qi as soon as possible. Although he knew that far water could not quench his thirst, he still hoped that the queen could send the best physician in the court of Qi to treat him, and maybe there was hope.
The drizzle is drizzling, and the spring river is full of water. By the time another twilight was about to come, the princess had not eaten or eaten for three days. The area around the palace where she lived was tightly sealed, and no idle people were allowed to approach it, so as to maintain a peaceful and peaceful environment. In the dim light, several maids were carefully boiling medicine. A strong smell of herbs filled the space, and like their mood, there was a bitter smell everywhere.
Yun Zhu'er, the most intimate maid who grew up with the princess since she was a child, knelt in front of the steps reverently, praying to the rainy night sky. It's what she does every night. Thinking of the princess's increasingly thin and pale face, it was not long before she leaned down on the steps and wept silently. It's just that tonight seems to be something special. For in the next moment, she heard footsteps from the cloister, and someone stepped up the steps and walked in without hindrance.
