5. Distress in the woods

Avoiding the crowd, Xiangbao found a small stream next to the dense forest, and the water of the stream was clear and visible. Taking off his shoes and rolling up his skirt, Xiangbao stepped into the stream and immediately felt refreshed. The stream was soaked in many beautiful white cobblestones, and Xiangbao bent down to look at it, and found a thumb-sized, colorful little stone, which was very beautiful.

Leaning on the trunk of the tree and half-lying down, Xiangbao happily looked at the beautiful little stone, leisurely enjoying the afternoon sun. It wasn't until the sun was sinking that she opened her eyes, took the colored stone into her arms, stretched her unsightly lazy waist, moved her somewhat stiff body, and stood up with her support for the trunk. Suddenly feeling a chill behind her, Xiangbao hurriedly turned around, but saw Wu Feng with murderous intent, and the sword glowing with cold light in his hand pointed directly at her chest.

Didn't he go hunting in the jungle with his husband? Xiangbao was slightly stunned, and then realized that he had come back to kill her. It's empty, and it's a great place to start. She was too careless and shouldn't be alone.

"I didn't expect you to be Shih Tzu." Wu Feng looked at Xiangbao and said coldly.

Xiangbao looked at him, calm on the surface, but his head was in a mess, and he thought of thousands of ways to escape, but none of them could be used at this time.

"You're not dumb." Jian Feng was a little closer to her, and Wu Feng said coldly.

Xiangbao could feel the coldness on his neck, his sword didn't look sharp, and if it cut off his neck, the cut would definitely be very ugly.

"I can continue to be dumb about you." Looking into his eyes, Xiangbao ordered himself to stop his messy thoughts. After calming down and pausing, she added, "If I want to tell the king, I said it early in the morning, why wait until today." ”

Wu Feng hesitated when he heard this. Only this time, Xiangbao immediately saw the hope of life, it seems that he is not as difficult to communicate as his father......

"Kill her." A voice rang out coldly.

It was Yun Ji, who was slowly coming out from behind a big tree. Xiangbao's eyes immediately darkened, and she had a feeling that the sky was going to kill her......

"Kill her." Yun Ji spoke slowly, in an extremely gentle tone.

"Yun'er......" Wu Feng was a little hesitant.

"Kill her." Yun Ji looked at Wu Feng, and there was an insistence in her faint voice that could not be refused.

"She didn't tell the king about us." Wu Feng frowned, hesitated, and said, "Still...... Are you worried that she will share the favor of the king? ”

Yun Ji was slightly stunned, glared at Wu Feng, the complexity on her face turned into a sneer on her lips, and then turned around and left.

Wu Feng's eyes became flustered: "Yun'er, Yun'er, don't go!" I'm going to kill her! ”

Hearing this, Xiangyu couldn't cry or laugh, it was ridiculous...... She has actually become a prop for this man to please a woman! Even the reason for death is so ridiculous......

Feeling that Wu Feng's sword had stabbed at her, Xiangbao subconsciously closed her eyes, her inexplicable life was inexplicably drawn to an end......

The arm suddenly tightened, someone pulled her aside, Xiangbao opened her eyes in astonishment, and saw Fan Li's face. Probably because he used too much force, Xiangbao was suddenly pulled into his arms by him, hitting his chest, and even his nose was knocked to the point of slight pain.

"It's you!" Wu Feng was slightly shocked.

"General Wu, I don't know what the crime of assassinating the princess is?" Fan Li pursed his lips and spoke slowly, his voice very gentle. Xiangbao, who was tightly protected by him, heard his heart...... Jumping in a mess......

Wu Feng's face was difficult to look at.

"Doctor Fan, it's not in accordance with etiquette for you to hold the king's concubine like this." Yun Ji on the side suddenly spoke.

"Fan Li is eager to save people, the king will understand."

"You!" Yun Ji was angry, "Do you think the king will believe you as a vassal?" ”

"But I have half a chance." Fan Li smiled.

"What do you want?" Wu Feng stepped forward and pulled Yun Ji behind him.

"It's getting dark, if we don't go back, the king will send someone to find it, and Fan Li won't be able to tell the truth at that time." Fan Li said lightly.

Yun Ji wanted to say something more, but was pulled away by Wu Feng.

The lush branches blocked the afterglow of the setting sun, and Xiangbao lay in Fan Li's arms in a daze, listening to his rapid heartbeat slow down little by little.

"Are you alright?" Watching Wu Feng and Yun Ji walk away, Fan Li looked down at Xiangbao.

Xiangbao woke up suddenly, and hurriedly pushed him away: "Thank you for Dr. Fan's life-saving grace." ”

Fan Li froze in place all of a sudden. Xiangbao didn't dare to look at him anymore, turned around and ran to the tent, leaving Fan Li alone to stand quietly in place. The afterglow of the setting sun passed through the branches and leaves of the trees, leaving a dappled shadow on him.

Xiangbao ran faster and faster, as if some beast was chasing after him. That guy should have come back already in the house, maybe he really hit a deer to show off his might, Xiangbao rolled her eyes, she could almost imagine his arrogant appearance.

Well...... She had to think of something, she had to think of something to get the white figure out of her head......

"Shih Tzu, where have you been?" As soon as he returned to the camp, Hua Mei greeted him and said a little impatiently.

Xiangbao was slightly stunned, feeling that the atmosphere around the camp was a little unusual.

"Shih Tzu, where have you been all afternoon? Do you know that everyone is in a hurry! Hua Mei said a little angrily.

"I'm sorry." Xiangbao raised her hand and gently stroked her shoulder, a little moved, everyone is in a hurry? Hehe, only Hua Mei herself is really anxious, and the people here who hope that she will never come back account for the majority.

Seeing Xiangbao's apology, Hua Mei was a little embarrassed: "Hmm...... I can't blame you, you're not in good health, and you can't remember what happened before, so you have to be careful. ”

"Hurry up and prepare, everyone!" Someone next to him shouted, it was Wu Feng's voice, it seemed to be a little flustered, was something wrong?

As soon as he turned around, Xiangbao saw Shi Lian looking at her, and when he saw that she was also looking at him, he was stunned for a moment, and shook his head a little unnaturally, and seemed to curse in a low voice, although he couldn't hear what he was talking about, Xiangbao was almost certain that he was scolding her nine out of ten...... Idiot.

"It's getting dark, everyone should pay attention when entering the forest, everything is important for the safety of the king!" Wu Feng's voice rang out again.

The safety of the king? Xiangbao looked left and right, and found that most of the people who entered the forest with her husband had returned, but she didn't see the arrogant guy.

"What's going on?" Pulling Hua Mei's hand, Xiangbao asked in a low voice.

"King Wu seems to be missing." Hua Mei glanced at Xiangbao, and whispered in her ear, a little happy.

Xiangbao suddenly felt a little pitiful for her husband, there were so many people who wanted him to die, and how many people really hoped that he could come back safely? Is it a failure to be a person and achieve this score?

The team that was going to look for the husband in front of him was already ready, and Gou Jian hurriedly walked to Wu Cover: "General Wu, can you let me go with you?" ”

Wu Feng frowned.

"Multiple helpers are also good." Gou Jian said again, with a humble face, "The king treats me like a mountain, I'm really worried......"

Wu Feng raised his hand impatiently to stop his words: "If you want to follow, just follow." ”

"General Xie." Gou Jian hurriedly turned around and beckoned Shi Lian to go with him.

"Why did you ......," Hua Mei frowned and muttered.

Xiangbao was silent, if you ask Gou Jian if he really hopes that his husband is safe and sound, then the answer is yes. Hua Mei's vision is too short-sighted, she only hopes that her husband will die, but she has never thought that if her husband dies and the young prince of Wu State succeeds to the throne, Wu Zixu will definitely advocate killing Gou Jian directly, and go to worry about the future. Obviously, Gou Jian has already thought through this layer, so he is so worried about the safety of his husband.

"With so many people following, how could he be missing?" Afraid that Hua Mei would say something amazing, Xiangbao hurriedly asked casually.

"I heard that I was chasing something and chased it deep into the forest...... Then he disappeared and has not returned. ”

What are you chasing?

"Mrs. Shih Tzu." Wu Feng said coldly.

Xiangbao was still frowning, touching her chin in thought.

"Mrs. Shih Tzu!" Wu Feng raised his voice and said again.

"Shih Tzu." Hua Mei hurriedly pushed her.

"Huh?" Xiangbao came back to his senses, looking dazed, "What's wrong?" ”

"I wonder if Mrs. Shih Tzu would like to go with her?" Wu Feng looked at Xiangbao and said.

"Huh?" Xiangbao's eyes widened, why did she go?

"The king is chasing a deer, so he will risk his life." Wu Feng's eyes were cold and piercing.

Deer?

Xiangbao was stunned, he was chasing deer?

"Lunch is a little rough, the widow must have a deer for his wife in the afternoon......" Xiangbao remembered her husband's words before leaving, as if she could still feel him put his cheek to her ear and grind gently......

"Mrs. Shih Tzu, would you like to go along?" Wu Feng asked.

Xiangbao looked at Wu Feng steadily, this guy is not dead yet, he wants to take this opportunity to kill her. But...... Husband sent him, nothing really will happen......

Without waiting for Xiangbao to refuse, someone had already led the horse and half-pushed Xiangbao and half-helped him onto the horse.

"I'll go too." A gentle voice dissolved Xiangbao's tension.

It's Fan Li.

Wu Feng's face was a little difficult to look at.

The group entered the dense forest, and Shi Lian was ordered to open the way, and he looked around and identified the direction. However, the ground was littered with messy footprints, and I couldn't recognize anything at all.

Xiangbao lowered her head, carefully distinguishing the footprints. Among the messy footprints was the footprints of an animal, not like a horse, but a little like a deer. I followed the footprints all the way, and gradually those footprints became clear, and on those footprints, there were faint horseshoe prints. Xiangbao rode his horse forward for a while, and unknowingly fell behind, but those footprints suddenly stopped, leaving only a pool of blood......

Looking at the pool of blood steadily, Xiangbao frowned. Not...... She didn't think that sinister guy would be in danger because of her, and she couldn't imagine such an arrogant face losing its temperature......

Such an arrogant person, he will definitely not easily give his life here.

"Xiangbao be careful!" As he was thinking, he suddenly heard someone shouting. It was Fan Li's voice, and the sound made the birds in the forest fly "fluttering".

Xiangbao turned her face sideways, only to hear a loud sound, and an arrow flew dangerously against her cheek, nailed to the trunk of the tree beside her, and the arrow feathers were still trembling slightly. Another arrow was fired, Xiangbao was shocked, hurriedly rode his horse to avoid the flying arrows, and with his legs in the belly of the horse, he fled towards the depths of the dense forest.

Another arrow was fired, and Xiangbao heard the sound of a sharp blade piercing into the flesh, and the mount under the crotch suddenly screamed and threw Xiangbao down. In a hurry, Xiangbao was thrown into the grass, and his palm stinged. When he looked back, the horse had fallen to the ground, with an arrow in the leg, and Xiangbao struggled to his feet and limped deep into the forest, not bothering to check his injuries.

In a panic, the trees on both sides gradually became denser, and the road became narrower and narrower. Xiangbao kept running and running, and the branches scraped on his face, leaving thin blood marks.

Finally escaped the dark arrow, and after nine deaths, Xiangbao found himself lost in great misery.

She couldn't run anymore and sat on the ground. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the grass ahead. Xiangbao's eyes widened, and she looked at the grass in horror, lest a beast suddenly pop out of it and eat her.

Breathe deeply...... Breathe deeply......

"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid......" Xiangbao muttered, slowly retreating.

The grass moved slightly, revealing a dark eye. Xiangbao looked at it and it turned out to be an elk. Looking at the elk steadily, Xiangbao grinned, his nose was sour, and he wanted to cry a little.

The elk was also apparently taken aback by Xiangbao and ran away. Watching the elk escape, Xiangbao's eyes widened, and through the place where the elk was standing, she saw a sharp arrow facing her direction, and the tip of the arrow was shining cold.

The one who bears the bow is a husband. He was standing under a tree, his left eye narrowing and his bow raised. After seeing Xiangbao, he put down the arrow in some surprise. Xiangbao looked at him blankly...... Well, she seems to have scared away his prey.

I don't know why, when she saw her husband at this time, she suddenly felt relieved, and then her nose began to pantothenic again, and even her eyes became wet. It was only after seeing the behemoth standing less than fifteen meters behind Fucha that Xiangbao froze suddenly, tears were frightened back, and then began to tremble slightly.

It turned out to be a ...... Bear!

At this time, Fucha was looking at Xiangbao, completely unaware of the danger behind him. Step by step, the behemoth approached Fucha, and the sound of heavy footsteps finally alerted him. But it was getting closer and closer to him, so close that he could slap him on the head with a claw, and it was no joke to slap that guy, and if he didn't die, he would lose half his life.

Lowering his hand, he pulled the bow full, and his whole body was boiling with murderous aura, and danger was imminent.

Xiangbao's eyes widened, and she didn't have time to think more, as soon as her brain was hot, her body involuntarily rushed forward and threw herself straight into his arms.

The bear is a very intelligent animal, but it is not a good hunter, it never actively looks for prey, only by chance, and it is said that although it has a keen sense of hearing and smell, it has poor eyesight, and is called "bear blind", and usually does not take the initiative to attack. So in this case...... Xiangbao chose the folk saying, that is, he fell to the ground and pretended to be dead.

Xiangbao threw himself into Fucha's arms, knocked him to the ground by inertia, and rolled into the grass beside him.

"You ......," he said, as if to ask something.

Rotten! Although the bear's eyesight is very poor, its hearing is unusually keen, and if it hears it......

Not daring to hesitate, Xiangbao lowered his head and gagged him. Not...... She sacrificed her mouth to gag him......

In his ears, the sound of heavy footsteps seemed to be a requiem from hell, and Xiangbao was lying on his back to the source of danger, frustrated. She couldn't see how close the behemoth was to her, and ...... She actually pounced on her just because she was hot-headed......

God knows if this method is just a rumor, she has never had a chance to confirm it, and now she has come to experience it for herself...... Thinking about it like this, I can't help but feel sad.

A cold light flashed in Fucha's eyes, and he stiffened and hugged Xiangbao tightly, reaching out to draw his sword. Xiangbao was shocked, if he alarmed the big guy at this time, wouldn't it be a waste of all his efforts? Never mind...... Anyway, it's already out, so it's better to fight it!

Xiangbao desperately held his hand, staring at him, her lips pressed against his, and her eyes looked straight into his.

Trust me, trust me...... Xiangbao meditated in his heart.

The husband was slightly stunned, as if he understood the resoluteness in Xiangbao's eyes, and really relaxed his body, allowing Xiangbao to hold his hand and no longer move. Xiangbao couldn't help but cry outrageous...... God knows, even she couldn't believe herself, this guy actually believed it......

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the deep terror made Xiangbao tremble slightly, and she closed her eyes tightly, and froze, letting the fear eat away at her little by little. I don't know how long it has been, but it seems like hundreds of years...... The sound of heavy footsteps behind him finally faded away.

Xiangbao breathed a sigh of relief, only then did she feel the soft and slightly cool touch on her lips, she was busy holding her breath, and opened her eyes tremblingly, and saw that there was a hot and unfamiliar emotion flashing through her husband's eyes, so fast that she couldn't help but wonder if she was frightened into a delirium.

Blinking, Xiangbao saw that the narrow eyes were full of interest, and he couldn't help but feel very annoyed, and was annoyed, when he suddenly felt a slippery stretch on his lips, Xiangbao's eyes widened in disbelief, that guy ...... That guy actually dared to stick out his tongue! She was kind enough to save him, and he actually took advantage of her!

Xiangbao was a little flustered and wanted to push him away and stand up, but he didn't expect that because of fear and maintaining the same position for a long time, his body was already numb, his feet slipped, and he fell back into his arms.

He was half-lying on the ground, his head supported in his left hand, and he looked down at Xiangbao in his arms, smiling relaxedly, as if this was the bed of Wu Palace, not a barren mountain and a wild mountain.

Hair accessories are messy, indescribable charm.

Xiangbao nestled in his arms, unspeakably bitter, trying to get up, his body was not angry, not only numb, but also with a pain, and then he began to tremble irrepressibly.

"Are you starting to get scared now?" He raised his right hand, gently stroked Xiangbao's cheek, and stroked the hair that was loose from her sideburns, "Wasn't it heroic just now?" Well? ”

"Shhh......hh ”

Noticing the tiny blood marks on Xiangbao's cheeks, there was a chill in his long, narrow eyes that narrowed slightly. Holding Xiangbao and half-sitting up, he lowered his head and took her hand, only to see that the flesh and blood on her palm were blurred, and the dress on her body had already been torn, revealing the injured flesh and blood, and her knees were still oozing blood.

"How?" He asked.

Xiangbao didn't think it at first, but when he asked him like this, he looked down and found that he was really miserable. Looking at her husband's compassionate appearance, Xiangbao hesitated to confess Wu Feng. If Wu Feng is confessed, the husband will definitely investigate the reason, and then the relationship between Wu Feng and Yun Ji will shake out. If the husband was angry, he cut Wu Feng and Yun Ji...... Wu Feng's father, Wu Zixu, is bound to have a dislike with his husband because of this...... She made so many things as soon as she entered the palace, didn't she really confirm the name of "red face and trouble"? It's a shame......

Xiangbao decided to swallow this dumb loss. But...... What an unwillingness! Just thinking about it, he suddenly felt that his clothes were loose, and Xiangbao lowered his head in amazement...... What's he doing? Help her untie her clothes? Holding his hand a little angrily, Xiangbao glared at him fiercely, she can be regarded as his savior, she actually treated her like this......

"What's wrong?" The husband raised his eyes to look at her, and after seeing Xiangbao's flushed face, he suddenly leaned into her ear and chuckled, "What is Madame's dissatisfaction?" Just now, Madame pounced so straight, but she was very enthusiastic, and she had the courage to kiss the widow, and now the widow was about to make a promise in order to repay Madame for saving her life......" He whispered softly in her ear, and the warm breath swept over her earlobe, tickling.

Promise by example?! Xiangbao was stunned for a moment, only to feel that his hand began to be restless again, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, it should be her who suffers like that! What kind of reward is he? It's clearly revenge!

"Ah, I don't want to ......," Xiangbao struggled and cried out, "don't touch me! ”

The husband stopped, looked at her, stood up suddenly, turned away without saying a word.

Xiangbao looked up and watched him leave blankly, suddenly frightened, he wouldn't plan to leave her alone in this barren mountain and wilderness......

Watching him go farther and farther, Xiangbao hurriedly stood up and wanted to chase him, but as soon as he got up, he felt a terrifying pain in his knees, and fell to the ground again, and could only watch him go farther and farther.

"Don't ...... Don't go......" gasped in pain, Xiangbao struggled to stand up again, finally stood firmly, and when he looked up, his husband was gone.

After a long pause, she sat down weakly on the ground.
