Gu Hengzhou and Shen Bai were forced to the deepest part of the dense forest, there were too many fierce beasts here, no one could predict what would happen, if it weren't for Gu Hengzhou, Shen Bai would be bitten to the ground if he encountered wolves here alone.

As soon as Gu Hengzhou moved with Shen Bai in his arms, the wolves immediately followed suit, roaring one by one and baring their fangs and flying over.

Gu Hengzhou took out the long sword he was carrying, and slashed the wolf that rushed to the front with one sword, hot and sweet blood splashed on him, and Shen Bai's face was also splashed a lot.

Gu Hengzhou's steps did not stop, he rushed forward with strength, and a wolf pounced on the right, Gu Hengzhou blocked it with his backhand, the sword body was bitten by the wolf, the wolf was not light, under the pull of inertia, Gu Hengzhou and Shen Bai were dragged to the ground, Gu Hengzhou frowned and grabbed Shen Bai's waist, the situation was critical, Shen Bai took out the dagger in his boots and cut the wolf's neck with a knife.

Blood spurted out, Gu Hengzhou kicked the wolf away, and jumped to the tree with Shen Bai in his arms.

After a few jumps, Gu Hengzhou took Shen Bai up to a big tree as thick as two people hugging.

Throwing Shen Bai onto the branch, Gu Hengzhou took out the hemp rope around his waist and tied it to the tree, grabbed the rope and fell, killing four or five wolves who tried to climb the tree.

The corpses of the wolves fell, and the strong smell of blood filled the air, and the restless wolves quieted down, but did not leave, and all gathered under the trees, letting out a low roar, unwilling to let their prey escape.

In the previous life, Shen Bai was not named to participate in this autumn hunt, but he only knew that Gu Hengzhou had made a contribution in that autumn hunt.

Gu Hengzhou has a cold temperament, and after returning to Tai Academy, he never mentioned how he made meritorious contributions, and Shen Bai didn't ask in detail, he experienced it himself at this time, and his heart couldn't stop speeding up, and cold sweat broke out.

Gu Hengzhou quickly pulled the rope up, the moonlight on the tree was stronger, but he was wearing ink-colored clothes, and Shen Bai only smelled blood, and he couldn't tell if he was injured.

Suppressing the frantic heartbeat, Shen Bai asked softly, "Brother Gu, you're not injured, are you?" ”

Gu Hengzhou's tone was calm: "No." ”

After speaking, he sat down next to Shen Bai, took off the sweat towel and slowly wiped the blood off the sword.

Shen Bai helped untie the hemp rope from the tree and wrapped it around and handed it to him, and when Gu Hengzhou took it, he took out a few dates flatteringly: "The dates have almost fallen off the road, only these few are left, Brother Gu will use this to moisten his throat." ”

Most of her face was covered with blood, and only one pair of eyes were unusually bright, as if no matter what happened, they couldn't be dusted.

Gu Hengzhou put away the sword and hemp rope, and only took a date from Shen Bai's hand, Shen Bai didn't force it, he took out two pancakes from his arms, handed one to Gu Hengzhou, and opened his own one, breaking half of it to him: "Brother Gu, take me all the way today, thank you for your hard work, you eat more, and we will all depend on each other for the next two days." ”

These words were half flattering and half temptation, as if Gu Hengzhou would think she would be cumbersome and leave her alone.

Gu Hengzhou glanced at Shen Bai, didn't say anything, took the half of the pancake and ate it together.

Shen Bai didn't speak anymore when eating, and even his movements were much lighter when he was eating dates, and not long after eating, a misty mist began to appear everywhere in the dense forest, and the temperature dropped significantly, Shen Bai rubbed his arms, feeling a little cold.

Gu Hengzhou has been paying attention to the situation below, and the wolves have been guarding for a while before gradually leaving, making sure that there is no sound below, Gu Hengzhou relaxed his body and lay down on the branches.

Shen Bai leaned against the trunk of the tree and asked weakly, "Brother Gu, have the wolves already left?" ”

Gu Hengzhou said, "Hmm." ”

After speaking, he felt that his trouser leg was gently tugged, and he thought that Shen Bai was going to make some trouble, Gu Hengzhou closed his eyes and said coldly: "Shut up, stay in the tree honestly, otherwise I will throw you down and feed the wolf!" ”

The hand that grabbed the trouser leg was released, and after a moment of silence, a weaker but more aggrieved voice sounded: "Brother Gu, I want to go to the toilet." ”

Gu Hengzhou: "......"

Gu Hengzhou's temple drum jumped twice, and he wanted to kick the person down directly.

Shen Bai was really unable to hold back, and begged in a low voice at the risk of being beaten: "Brother Gu, I held back for a day today, I really can't hold it back, I'm afraid of heights, you send me down, I climb up by myself after going to the toilet, is it okay?" ”

Gu Hengzhou was silent, and Shen Bai waited for a while and didn't give up: "Brother Gu......"

Gu Hengzhou sat up, Shen Bai's eyes lit up, and he praised hard: "Brother Gu's great kindness, I must keep it in mind, and in the future, I will definitely repay each other with grass and springs!" ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't expect this little liar full of lies to repay him, thinking that she spoke in front of the palace to make Emperor Hengde pay attention to the management of the school captain battalion again, or suppressed his temper and took Shen Bai down.

As soon as he landed, Shen Bai hurriedly untied his belt and walked to the grass next to him, Gu Hengzhou reminded in a cold voice: "The wolves haven't gone far yet." ”

Shen Bo paused, gritted his teeth, turned back with his pants, and looked at Gu Hengzhou without tears: "Brother Gu, I'...... It's a bit of a stomach upset, if you don't dislike it, I can do it here. ”

Gu Hengzhou's expression froze, and he turned his back: "Don't go far." ”

Shen Bai wanted to cry, so he hurriedly said "Brother Xie Gu" and rushed into the grass.

The fog below was heavier, and Shen Bai didn't dare to go far, making sure that Gu Hengzhou couldn't see it, so he couldn't wait to squat down, and scolded the person who chased them and released the dark arrow today.

Shen Bai just wanted to relieve himself, he was afraid that he would go back too early, so he fastened his belt and waited in place for a while, and was about to walk back, when there was a soft sound above his head, as if someone was carrying a heavy object passing by.

Gu Hengzhou ordered in a deep voice: "I'll go and take a look, go up the tree and wait and don't move!" ”

Shen Bai ran back two steps: "Brother Gu? ”

No one responded to her, Gu Hengzhou had already chased after that person.

The fog became thicker and thicker, like a light rain in early spring, which soon soaked the clothes, covering the moonlight, and only a dark patch was left as far as the eye could see, which was eerie and terrifying.

Shen Bai sniffed and couldn't help muttering: "Brother Gu, you look too highly at me, I can't even hug this tree, how can I climb it?" ”

Unable to go up to the previous tree, Shen Bai found a half-human-thick tree next to him and climbed up, sitting on the branch and staring at the dark night in a daze.

But he said that Gu Hengzhou felt that something was wrong after chasing the man for a distance, and turned around to find Shen Bai, but the person in front rushed with a sword, and Gu Hengzhou instinctively raised his sword to block it.

The two swords struck, sparks burst out, and a moment of bright light crossed the eyes of the two.

Gu Hengzhou's face turned cold, and he was about to use all his strength to fight, when the man spoke in a low voice: "Your subordinates are ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ask His Royal Highness the Prince to go over and rest for a while!" ”

Prince?

Gu Hengzhou was slightly stunned, took the sword momentum and walked with the man, about a cup of tea, and the bright firelight came into view.

Zhao Che sat comfortably in front of the fire, and behind him stood five dead soldiers wearing gray robes and black masks.

The wild environment is not good, there are no high beds, soft pillows, brocade clothes and jade food, but the dead man still used local materials, and built a simple shed for Zhao Che with branches and hay, and thick hay was spread under the shed, and the grass was covered with animal skins for Zhao Che to rest for a while.

Gu Hengzhou frowned slightly, walked up to Zhao Che and knelt down: "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Zhao Che grabbed Gu Hengzhou's arm steadily, and said gently: "You don't need to be polite to Xingyuan, I'm tired today." ”

It's not that tired, it's just a little embarrassing to be chased all the way.

Gu Hengzhou didn't rush to get up, lifted his eyes, and looked at Zhao Che with a cold look: "Today's matter, the general doesn't understand." ”

Zhao Che helped Gu Hengzhou and didn't let go, the two knelt and sat down, stalemate in a strange posture, and all the breath around them was released, and they were evenly matched, and no one could suppress anyone.

After a while, a dead man came back and said: "Your Highness, Young Master Shen fell asleep holding the tree, afraid that he would fall, he untied his belt and tied himself to the trunk of the tree, those wolves have been dealt with, Young Master Shen will be fine." ”

Zhao Che looked at Gu Hengzhou: "Xingyuan wants to kneel here?" ”

Gu Hengzhou got up, Zhao Che raised his chin slightly, and motioned for him to sit down on the stone next to him, Gu Hengzhou did so, and a dead man served a cup of warm tea.

Tea is the best imperial tea, the tea fragrance is fragrant, Gu Hengzhou raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, the fragrance of tea exploded on the tip of his tongue, and there was a sweet and refreshing heart.

The dead soldier who was waiting on the side wanted to help him add tea, Gu Hengzhou raised his hand to stop it, and turned his head to look at Zhao Che.

There was also half a roasted golden rabbit next to the fire, Zhao Che personally cut two pieces of rabbit meat with a knife, put them on the washed leaves and handed them to Gu Hengzhou: "This side is full of fierce beasts, there are no living creatures, only this, Xingyuan will eat it." ”

Gu Hengzhou remembered Shen Bai's previous thoughts, and said firmly: "This is the rabbit that Shen Bai hunted. ”

Zhao Che nodded, played with the dagger in his hand, looked at the rabbit that was burnt and browned, and said lightly: "Zhishu usually looks at Jiao'er Langdang, but I didn't expect to be very experienced in this area, made a trap, and directly shot the rabbit with sharpened branches. ”

Trap hunting is the basic common sense of everyone in the lieutenant camp, but not everyone who enters the lieutenant camp can learn it.

Shen Bai was indeed ordered to enter the lieutenant camp for training for two months, but after entering the lieutenant camp, Shen Bai was constantly injured, and the time for real training was pitiful.

Gu Hengzhou pursed his lips and did not defend Shen Bai, but he did not immediately puncture Shen Bai's words.

Zhen Guogong is upright, and Zhao Che knows that Gu Hengzhou will not do anything that will fall into the ground, but his current performance is not quite consistent with the image of being cold and indifferent in Tai Academy on weekdays.

Zhao Che pushed the two pieces of rabbit meat in front of Gu Hengzhou again, and persuaded: "The meat is quite tender, try it." ”

The dead man served silver chopsticks, Gu Hengzhou picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, the rabbit was sweet, the heat was well controlled, the skin was slightly burnt, but there was no paste, there was a special burnt fragrance, the rabbit was very fat, the meat was refreshing and delicious, and it did not lose the cooking skills of the imperial dining room.

Gu Hengzhou silently ate the two pieces of rabbit meat, and waited for him to swallow Zhao Che before continuing: "This year, my father is fifty, and next year the palace will be crowned, and my father intends to let this palace slowly take over the affairs of the court. ”

Zhao Che directly clarified his intentions, Gu Hengzhou immediately understood what Zhao Che was arranging these things for, or twisted his eyebrows: "The Shen family has been a scholar in the past dynasties, and Shen Bai's martial arts cultivation in the Tai Academy is also a well-known last-class, why does His Highness want to test him so much?" ”

Zhao Che wiped the oil on the dagger with a handkerchief, and the flames reflected his dark eyes very brightly, Zhao Che put away the dagger, turned his head to look at Gu Hengzhou, and said word by word: "Xingyuan, this palace is not only to test him, but also to test you and me." ”

Gu Hengzhou's expression froze, Zhao Che added a piece of dead wood to the fire, the fire burned very vigorously all of a sudden, he looked at the fire fixedly, the fire was so hot, but his eyes were as cold as ice that would not melt for thousands of years.

Zhao Che said: "If he dies this time, you and I will no longer have a weakness, and if he lives, he will never become anyone's weakness again!" ”

Gu Hengzhou's jaw was clenched, his chin line was as cold and hard as a blade, his thin lips moved slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, why do you think Shen Bai will become your weakness and mine?" ”

Zhao Che's dark eyes swelled with deep and obscure emotions, Gu Hengzhou couldn't tell what was in it for a while, but he heard Zhao Che ask in a dumb voice: "Xingyuan, do you dare to say that you treat Shen Bai no different from others?" ”

Syllable!

Gu Hengzhou crushed the teacup in his hand, and his calm and calm expression cracked.

Shen Bai hugged the trunk and slept all night, when he woke up, the sky was already bright, the yellow and clear sunlight cast fine spots of light in the forest through the dense leaves, Shen Bai did not sleep well, his neck hurt and his limbs hurt, so he slept all night, his nose was still uncomfortable, and he was a little cold.

Although he knew that Gu Hengzhou should not have come back, Shen Bai still called out without giving up: "Brother Gu, are you back?" ”

No one responded to her, the surroundings were quiet, and there were only the corpses of the wolves that were killed by Gu Hengzhou last night on the ground.

The wolf blood had condensed, and there were several bugs crawling around the carcasses of these wolves.

Shen Bai untied his belt and tied it back to his waist, slid down with the tree trunk, walked to the corpses of those wolves and squatted down, and unloaded a wolf leg from his back with a dagger.

She is not in the list of children of the family who hunted this time, and there is no uniformly issued Praetorian Guard signal flare on her body, if she encounters danger, she can't send a signal flare for help, and Gu Hengzhou is not around, she can only walk back from the forest by herself.

At this time, if Shen Bai couldn't see what Zhao Che wanted to do, he would live this life in vain.

The biggest common problem of the royal family is suspicion, although she is still a man, she also blatantly expressed her liking for Gu Hengzhou, Zhao Che did not say that she would not let her like Gu Hengzhou, but in this way told her that she was nothing in Gu Hengzhou's heart, even if she knew that she would be in danger, Gu Hengzhou would not hesitate to leave her.

Zhao Che wanted to take this opportunity to plant a seed in her heart, waiting for the opportunity to rip off her strong and unreserved love for Gu Hengzhou.

In the last life, she was able to be reused by Zhao Che, a big reason is that she has never been married, it seems that she has never taken anyone to heart, she has no weakness, no feelings, and can be the best knife in his hand.

This method is not bright, but it can be regarded as a good signal for Shen Bai.

Zhao Che is willing to test her, that is, he is willing to reuse her, if she can be trusted and relied on by Zhao Che now, there are too many things she can do.

There were still seven or eight dates left, Shen Bai ate them all in one go, cut a branch for himself to make a crutch, judged the direction by the sun, and walked forward firmly.

Few people come here, the grass and trees are very deep, Shen Bai walked very slowly, picked a few wild fruits at noon to satisfy his hunger, did not dare to rest, and kept walking with a force, when the sun was slanting westward, Shen Bai finally saw the horseshoe prints on the ground, the horse was also hungry, and was grazing all the way, Shen Bai followed the imprint for half an hour, and finally found the crowd, jumped out of the grass to see, and his eyes flashed with disappointment.

Sitting in front of the fire were Qian Yunshan, the eldest son of the Ministry of War, Qian Huaiyu, the second son, and Wu Shouxin, the sister-in-law of the Ministry of Rites.

Coincidentally, when Shen Bai was in Tai Academy, he had the worst relationship with these three people.

Especially this one named Wu Shouxin, named Shouxin, but he is the most opportunistic and likes to take advantage of loopholes, Shen Bai was bullied by him when he first entered the Tai Academy, and later often fought with him when he disagreed.

Although Shen Bai is a daughter, she is petite and lacks strength, but she is ruthless, and she can scratch Wu Shouxin's face when she is young, let alone grow up, so Wu Shouxin rarely takes the initiative to provoke Shen Bai in the past two years.

The three of them obviously wanted to hunt together, and each of them carried a few prey on horseback, and spent two days in the wild, all three of them described themselves as embarrassed, sitting around the fire, each nibbling on the dry food they had brought with them.

There was a lot of danger in the forest at night, and Shen Bai still had lingering feelings about the wolves last night, although he didn't like to see these three people, he still squeezed out a smile and greeted the three of them: "Brother Yunshan, Brother Huaiyu, Brother Shouxin, what a coincidence." ”

As he spoke, Shen Bai walked up to the three of them with a tree branch.

She was soaked in wolf blood, and she was sweating again on the road today, the smell was not good, and her clothes were scraped in several places, and at first glance she looked like a beggar begging along the street.

The three of them frowned at the same time, and Qian Yunshan took the lead in speaking: "Stand far away for me, don't come here!" ”

Shen Bai stopped, Qian Huaiyu swallowed what was in his mouth and asked, "Isn't your kid not on the hunting list this time?" Why did you go into the paddock and don't want to live? ”

Shen Bai didn't drink water in the afternoon, his mouth was dry and painful, he licked his lips and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appointed me to accompany me, of course I can come in." ”

The three of them didn't notice that Shen Bai and Zhao Che were together before they set off, they only remembered that Shen Bai was suspected of murdering the emperor's heir the day before yesterday, and he confronted the Taiwei Jiang De'an and finally retreated, and now he didn't dare to bully Shen Bai at will like when he was in the Tai Academy.

However, he still couldn't get used to Shen Bai's style, Qian Huaiyu deliberately stretched his neck to look behind Shen Bai, and couldn't help but sneer: "What about His Royal Highness the Prince?" Aren't you always with you? ”

Shen Bai said nonsense: "His Royal Highness and Brother Gu found a fire fox and chased the fire fox away, I couldn't keep up with the two of them because of my poor riding skills, and I wanted to find a place to rest and wait for them first, so I happened to meet the three of them." ”

The fire fox is a rare thing, and these three people have gone all the way here, but they also want to try their luck to see if they can hunt some novel prey, and although they can't compete for the first place when they go back, they can also win a good fortune and get some rewards.

But Shen Bai was alone, and the three of them still didn't believe it, and Qian Huaiyu asked again: "Where is your horse?" ”

Shen Bai casually pointed in a direction: "Stay over there, if His Highness and Brother Gu come back, it will bring them over to me." After speaking, he deliberately shook the wolf's leg on his back, "That's it, the three of you can eat by yourself, I'll find other places to make a fire for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Brother Gu to eat, they won't eat this kind of tasteless dry food." ”

Shen Bai knew about the three of them at the end of the Tai Academy's martial arts, and they recognized at a glance that the leg on Shen Bai's back was a wolf's leg, knowing that Shen Bai had no ability to hunt the wolf, and the three of them all believed Shen Bai's words a little, in case Zhao Che and Gu Hengzhou really found it, then they could also show their faces in front of these two.

This opportunity is really rare, even if he is deceived, there is no loss, and in the end, Wu Shouxin, who has not spoken, opened his mouth to stay: "Wait! ”

Shen Bai didn't stop, his pace deliberately slowed down, Wu Shouxin took a deep breath and continued: "It's going to be dark soon, just rest here, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Gu Shizi don't find it, they can still take care of each other at night." ”

Shen Bai hooked his lips, turned his head with a reserved face, looked at Wu Shouxin and said, "Since Brother Wu is so warmly invited, then I might as well obey my fate with respect." ”

It was as if they were begging Shen Bai to stay.

The three of them were arrogant, their faces darkened at the same time, Shen Bai accepted it when he saw it, and he didn't continue to annoy them, he found a branch to fork up the wolf leg meat and put it by the fire to roast, and took out the herbs picked along the way from his arms to make seasonings.

The three of them are usually the eldest young masters who come to the house to stretch out their hands and eat at home, and they are all a little curious when they see Shen Bai's movements, but Shen Bai doesn't take the initiative to speak, and they are embarrassed to ask.

After roasting for about a stick of incense, the fragrance gradually wafted out, and the three of them suddenly felt that the dry food in their hands was gone, Shen Bai pulled out a dagger from his boots, and was about to cut the wolf's leg a little so that it would ripen faster, Wu Shouxin stopped Shen Bai: "You cut the meat directly with the knife in the shoe, and you are not afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will know about the crime?" ”

Everyone is embarrassed like this, what else is there to pay attention to?

Shen Baisheng resisted the urge to roll his eyes, wiped the dagger on his body twice, and asked, "Is this okay?" ”

The clothes on her body were not much cleaner than boots, Wu Shouxin glanced at her, took out his saber and wiped it with a sweat towel and handed it to Shen Bai, saying, "Use this." ”

Shen Bai put down his dagger, took the sword and cut the flesh, and couldn't help muttering: "It's so long-winded, it's like a girl!" ”

Wu Shouxin raised his eyebrows: "What did you say with a little white face?" ”

Shen Bai lowered his head and stopped talking, concentrating on roasting his own meat.

After another time of roasting incense, both sides of the wolf leg were roasted to golden brown, the aroma was overflowing, and there was a sizzling sound of hot oil on the surface, and the three of them secretly swallowed their saliva, Shen Bai put the wolf leg in front of him and sniffed it hard, and immediately his tongue was full of relish, and he couldn't wait to cut a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

The meat was still very hot, and Shen Bai was so hot that he opened his mouth so hard that tears were about to come out.

But after a long time, the piece of meat was still swallowed by Shen Bai, her tongue was scalded, and she really didn't eat the taste of the meat at all.

Wu Shouxin sneered coldly: "Is the Taifu Mansion lacking food and clothing for you, and you want to gobble it up like this?" ”

You know what, I haven't eaten anything hot since yesterday!

Shen Bai shook Wu Shouxin's eyes, picked up the wolf's leg and was about to gnaw it, Qian Huaiyu reminded in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't come yet, is it your turn to eat?" ”

Shen Bai's stomach growled twice, he was too hungry to do it, and argued: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Brother Gu have gone to chase the fire fox, maybe they will go back to the camp directly, even if His Royal Highness and Brother Gu come, there are still so many prey here, I will help them re-roast." ”

After Shen Bai finished speaking, he was about to lower his mouth again, Qian Huaiyu pulled out his long sword and pointed it at Shen Bai, and ordered in a cold voice: "Put it down!" ”

Dog's day, in order to please His Royal Highness the Prince, you sincerely want to starve the master to death?

Shen Bai gritted his teeth with hatred, and also lost his temper, and continued to bite, the familiar sound of breaking the sky came, and Wu Shouxin shouted: "Be careful of the dark arrow!" ”

Qian Yunshan and Qian Huaiyu retreated at the same time to avoid it, Shen Bai couldn't react when he held the wolf's leg, and was pulled aside by Wu Shouxin by the back collar, and the arrow shot straight into the fire like yesterday, and suddenly sparks splashed everywhere.

The horse tied to the side neighed in fright, Wu Shouxin swung his sword to cut off the reins of the horse, got on the horse first, leaned over to grab Shen Bai's belt, and another sharp arrow came, Wu Shouxin was forced to withdraw his hand, seeing that Shen Bai was still holding the wolf's leg in a daze, he couldn't help but be annoyed: "Don't you throw it away, are you afraid that you won't die fast enough?" ”

After Wu Shouxin finished speaking, he went to pull Shen Bai again, this time Shen Bai grabbed his hand steadily, but instead of getting on the horse, he pulled Wu Shouxin off the horse violently.

Wu Shouxin was defenseless, fell to the ground, and was about to get angry, Shen Bai snatched the sword from his waist and stuffed the wolf's leg into his hand: "Brother Wu, borrow your horse for use, and our previous grievances in Tai Academy will be written off from now on!" ”

After Shen Bai finished speaking, he turned over the horse with his sword, lightly clamped the horse's belly and ran forward a few steps, pulled the reins of the horse and looked back at Wu Shouxin: "Brother Wu, help me bring the wolf's leg to His Royal Highness the Prince, and then bring a word for me, Shen Bai will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations and return to the captain's camp alive!" ”

After saying this, Shen Bai grabbed the horse's belly and rushed into the forest.

It was already completely dark, and the fog was rising again, and the road ahead was not very clear, and several times, Shen Bai almost hit the tree directly.

The arrows behind him did not stop at all, and the dull sound of sharp arrows hitting the trunk could be heard all the way, Shen Bai's palms were full of cold sweat, she could still comfort herself in the wolves last night It was arranged by Zhao Che who wanted to test Gu Hengzhou's skills, but today she couldn't find an excuse, Zhao Che not only wanted to warn her, but even ...... I want to kill her!

Danger was everywhere, Shen Bai didn't have the heart to think about why Zhao Che did this, so he could only keep running forward, but the person who put the dark arrow behind him kept chasing after him, and the whizzing arrows became more and more intense, Shen Bai leaned over and hugged the horse's neck, and a sharp arrow grazed his ear and shot into the tree next to him, and the warm blood immediately flowed down his jawbone.

Too nervous, Shen Bai only felt a moment of pain and then became numb.

There is no way to escape like this, Shen Bai forced himself to calm down and think of countermeasures, but before he could come up with a reason, his left shoulder hurt suddenly, and the whole person was brought down from the horse by a huge inertia, but he did not fall to the ground immediately, but suspended weightlessly for a while before slamming to the ground.

His ears buzzed, his head became blank, his breathing stagnated, and after a long time, Shen Bai coughed lightly.

Breathing poured into his lungs again, Shen Bai gasped heavily, feeling that all his internal organs were hurting.

After his breathing stabilized, Shen Bai sat up holding his left shoulder, unexpectedly did not touch a hand of blood, and pulled open his collar in surprise, and then remembered that she was still wearing the silver silk soft armor that Zhao Che had sent her.

Licking her lips and smiling, Shen Bai breathed a sigh of relief, even she didn't know whether Zhao Che wanted her to die or didn't want her to die.

Shen Bai found himself falling into a small cave, the cave was not big, there was flowing water in it, and a pile of soft sand and gravel came in, Shen Bai happened to fall on top of these sand and gravel and picked up a life.

Shen Bai stood up and raised the fire fold higher, and saw that the cave wall was covered with slippery moss, the gap in the top of the cave was very small, covered by fallen leaves, and the moonlight could hardly penetrate through, and it should be difficult for the people above to find that there was such a cave here, and there were some animal bones on the ground, which should have fallen and starved to death.

There were only some damp and rotten dead wood in the cave, and there was no way to make a fire to keep warm.

Shen Bai groped around the hole with the help of the fire fold, but found no other exits, covered the fire fold, Shen Bai sat on the ground with his butt, and scolded angrily: "Zhao Che of the dog day, just grab the master's food, and put the master to death, if the master really dies here, no one will help you scold the old foxes in the future, and the master will see where you are crying!" ”

At the same time, in the dense forest not far away, Zhao Che sneezed.

The dead man put on his cloak, and Zhao Che raised his hand to stop it: "No, Bengong's body is not so weak, it should be something that doesn't know whether to live or die is scolding Bengong." ”

The dead man retreated, and after a while, the sound of clattering horses' hooves approached, Qian Yunshan, Qian Huaiyu and Wu Shouxin dismounted, walked to Zhao Che and Gu Hengzhou and knelt down and saluted in unison: "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Zhao Che lifted his eyes and looked at Wu Shouxin: "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

Wu Shouxin raised the wolf's leg, hesitated for a moment and said according to Shen Bai's explanation: "This is Shen Bai's roasted wolf leg, he asked me to bring this to His Royal Highness the Prince, and there is another word." ”

Zhao Che raised his eyebrows with interest: "What words?" ”

Wu Shouxin learned Shen Bai's tone and said, "Shen Bai will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations and return to the captain's camp alive!" ”

Wu Shouxin learned Shen Bai's self-confidence tenth, Zhao Che's eyes were dyed with a faint smile, and he gave a look to the dead man next to him, and the dead man immediately stepped forward and took Wu Shouxin's wolf leg and presented it to Zhao Che.

Running all the way, the wolf's legs were already cold and stained with dust, but Zhao Che didn't mind, took out a dagger, cut a piece and put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and commented: "This wolf is a little old, although the heat is well controlled, but the meat is too tight, not as tender as rabbit meat." ”

After speaking, he looked at Gu Hengzhou: "Xingyuan will also taste it." ”

The dead man sent the wolf's leg to Gu Hengzhou again, Gu Hengzhou cut off a piece and ate it, and said coldly: "What His Highness said is extremely true. ”

Zhao Che wiped the dagger clean and put it away, and ordered without being salty or light: "Throw it away." ”

The dead soldier retreated with the wolf's legs, and three more dead soldiers came back from outside and knelt down in front of Zhao Che, one of them opened his mouth to say: "Your Highness, Shen Bai snatched Young Master Wu's horse and fled, and after being injured by an arrow, he is nowhere to be found now." ”

Zhao Che lifted his eyes and retold with interest: "Missing? ”

The heads of the three dead soldiers slammed on the ground: "The sky is too dark, and there is a distance away, the subordinates are incompetent, they didn't see what happened, and when they found out that something was wrong, Shen Bai was no longer right away, and the subordinates searched all around, but failed to find any trace of Young Master Shen, please forgive your Highness!" ”

The air was condensed, so dull that people unconsciously restrained their breathing, and after a long time, Zhao Che said: "It's okay, get up, send these three young masters down to rest first." ”

The three dead soldiers stood up and took Qian Yunshan, Qian Huaiyu and Wu Shouxin to rest together.

Waiting for everyone to walk away, Zhao Che took a sip of the cold tea in front of him and looked at Gu Hengzhou: "Xingyuan thinks Shen Bai is playing some tricks this time?" ”

Gu Hengzhou's expression was tense, and after thinking for a moment, he replied truthfully: "If Shen Bai is really injured by an arrow, I'm afraid that he won't be able to survive tonight." ”

The smell of blood is the best medicine to make the beasts in the forest go crazy, Shen Bai is not good, and scurrying around in this forest with a body of blood is tantamount to looking for death.

Zhao Che paused, raised his head and drank the tea in the cup, and put it on the table: "Then we'll wait and see." ”

Resting in place for a night, early the next morning, the dead man used a cage to carry a fire fox to Gu Hengzhou, the fire fox was bright red, the hair was shiny and fluffy, and it looked like a raging flame from a distance, but the eyes were blue like ice crystals, and the watery water made people feel pity unconsciously.

The dead man said: "This is a gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince said that with the skills of the Prince, he can completely win the first prize of this autumn hunt, this fire fox is given to the Prince, I hope that the Son will go to Lingzhou next year, everything will go well, and bring out an invincible strong army like the Zhenbei Army for Zhaoling!" ”

Gu Hengzhou took the fire fox and was about to speak, when the dead man said again: "Young Master Shen is appointed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to accompany him, no matter what happens to him, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should explain the situation to the Taifu, and His Royal Highness asks the prince to forget what happened in the forest in the past two days!" ”

This is not a consultation, but an order.

Gu Hengzhou's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and finally nodded and didn't say anything.

The dead man brought the horses to let them claim them, Qian Yunshan and they also got a lot of prey, without mentioning Shen Bai, rode the horse away, Gu Hengzhou did not communicate with them, and walked in a different direction, when he was about to leave the forest, Gu Hengzhou took the reins of the horse, hesitated for a while or turned the horse's head back to the forest.

Gu Hengzhou didn't know where Qian Yunshan rested yesterday, and could only make a rough judgment based on the time it took for those dead soldiers to come back to report and Qian Yunshan's clothes at that time, at that time they were still early from leaving the forest, and they should have camped in Zhao Che further inside.

The forest is very big, there are many people who know Zhao Che, Gu Hengzhou took some time to avoid them, it was already noon when he returned to the forest, there was no sun today, it was gloomy outside, it seemed to rain, and the light in the woods was even darker, as if it was night.

Gu Hengzhou rode his horse around the forest slowly, except for the small sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the dead leaves and the occasional sound of startled birds flapping their wings and flying away, there was nothing else.

He knew better than anyone that a person like Shen Bai would not survive one night in this forest if he was seriously injured, but his mind kept flashing the picture of Shen Bai pulling out a dagger and cutting the wolf's neck on the first night.

Although that little liar is not good, he always has unimaginable loneliness.

Perhaps, he underestimated this little liar, but in fact he could survive one night.

Gu Hengzhou couldn't control his anticipation, and the solemn and melodious sound of the horn came from the camp, the three-day hunting time was coming soon, and the people in the camp were urging everyone to hurry out of the paddock and hand in the prey for the final evaluation.

The sound of the horn became more and more urgent, and the clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and the black pressure made people feel uncomfortable, and the horse under him raised his neck uneasily, Gu Hengzhou took one last look at the forest, raised his horsewhip and rushed out.

It took half an hour for Gu Hengzhou to ride his horse back to the camp, and the others came back, as soon as Gu Hengzhou arrived, there were immediately palace people to greet him, and when he saw that he had hunted a fire fox, he immediately went to Emperor Hengde happily to report the good news: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has hunted a fire fox, good luck!" ”

The others had different looks, some surprised and some surprised.

Gu Hengzhou's reaction was flat, his cold eyes swept around, and he collided with Shen Ruxiu, who was standing behind the third prince.

Shen Ruxiu had been looking for Shen Bai, and after looking at Gu Hengzhou, he felt inexplicably in his heart.

Gu Hengzhou quickly retracted his gaze, handed over the fire fox to the palace people, turned over and dismounted, and visited Emperor Hengde first.

Not many people know about Shen Bai and Zhao Che entering the paddock together, now that she has not come back, naturally it has not caused much of a sensation, it is a happy event to hunt the fire fox, Emperor Hengde is very happy, let people give Gu Hengzhou a lot of rewards, originally wanted to set up a banquet for Gu Hengzhou to celebrate his achievements in the evening, but Tiangong did not do beauty, thunder rumbled, and it rained heavily, and everyone could only go back to their respective camps to avoid the rain first.

The thunder continued, smashing people's hearts uneasy, Shen Ruxiu's eyelids jumped hard, after all, he still couldn't sit still, and went to Zhao Che's camp in the rain.

The guards who were guarding outside immediately let him in.

Zhao Che's tent is second only to Emperor Hengde's, there are not only tables in it, but also screens, behind which are steaming, and Zhao Che is burning incense and bathing.

Shen Ruxiu suppressed his irritability and didn't rush to bother, Zhao Che took a bath slowly, changed into clean clothes before coming out around the screen, and there was no surprise to see Shen Ruxiu here, Wen smiled and asked: "It's raining so heavily, Taifu doesn't stay in the tent well, but what's the urgency to find the palace?" ”

Shen Ruxiu got straight to the point: "His Royal Highness appointed the dog to accompany him and entered the enclosure together, but until now the dog has not returned, can His Highness assign him to do other things?" ”

Zhao Che shook his head: "This palace has not assigned him anything else. ”

Shen Ruxiu asked eagerly: "Where is the dog now?" ”

It was a little rainy, and the palace people prepared ginger soup for Zhao Che, he took two sips of ginger soup, and then looked at Shen Ruxiu and said: "There have been a lot of things in Beijing recently, and this palace suddenly feels that the queen mother did something wrong back then." ”

Shen Ruxiu's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously knelt down: "Your Highness, Bai'er is innocent!" ”

Zhao Che put down the bowl, got up and helped Shen Ruxiu to help: "This palace can understand Taifu's feelings, Taifu is a minister of the humerus who is trusted and relied on by both his father and the palace, and this palace does not want any hidden dangers to affect Taifu's safety." ”

Shen Ruxiu's heart was unbearable, and he blurted out: "Your Highness, this matter was done by the queen first. ”

Zhao Che lifted his eyes and looked straight into Shen Ruxiu's eyes, with extreme affection: "This palace knows that the Shen family is innocent, so it is said that the queen mother did something wrong, this palace wants to protect the Shen family, and the Taifu understands what this palace means, right?" ”
