Chapter 48: The Hunt Storm Rises (3)
At this time, a group of men and women in the woods are very leisurely searching for prey, here is close to the periphery, there are many animals, but there are not many valuable prey, a group of people do not have much interest in hunting, but have to talk and laugh. One of the women was particularly eye-catching.
That woman is not someone else, it is Liu Chenyan, at this time, the other party is not wearing men's clothes, nor is it a lady's clothes, but a military uniform, which gives people a refreshing, capable, and even a little amazing. And there are a few men and women accompanying Liu Chenyan, it seems that they should have a good relationship with each other, and there are several women dressed as women, obviously married to women, and it is rare to be able to come out to participate in the spring hunt. There are also several young men, some large and some small, but the oldest should not be more than 20 years old.
There were six or seven men and women in this group, and there were more than twenty people left, who were supposed to be accompanying domestic servants, and among them were women in military uniforms.
"Xiaoyan, you came to participate in the spring hunt this time, your uncle and aunt should want you to fight for Princess Shou, why did you run out." A heroic-looking man next to him looked at Liu Chenyan, who joined their team halfway, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.
They were originally a few familiar juniors, bringing their own daughters and relatives to try their luck together. Fighting for the first, they were not interested, so they completely regarded this as a spring outing. Not long after they set off, Liu Chenyan took two female soldiers to join the hunting team he organized.
"I'm not going, it's hard to come out to play, so I don't want to stay in the camp." Liu Chenyan pouted.
To say that Liu Chenyan has no interest in Princess Shou, it is impossible. Li Ye left a deep impression in his heart, but she also knew that it was difficult for her to become Princess Shou, and she couldn't sit still because of her own temperament, so she secretly ran out. However, she didn't run out aimlessly, but saw Li Ye and his party walking this way, so she followed, but she didn't expect to meet the group in front of her, because they were acquaintances, so they were together. However, Liu Chenyan's eyes have been looking around, but at a glance, there are trees several feet high, and it is not so easy to find someone.
"Xiaoyan, you have to change your character. You don't know your reputation among the younger generation in Chengdu Prefecture, basically younger men are afraid of you. A woman next to her covered her mouth and smiled.
This woman is not wearing a military uniform, but wearing a tight suit, and the curves of her figure are also perfectly outlined, although her appearance is not as good as Liu Chenyan, but it is not much worse. However, his hair has been coiled up, indicating that he is married.
"Hmph, those people are a bunch of guts." Liu Chenyan didn't feel embarrassed, but was right, because the people who were afraid of him were basically beaten by him. She even dared to fight Chen Jingxuan's son, let alone others.
The reason why these people don't know the lesson is also because of Liu Chenyan's appearance, many people have gone forward one after another, of course, they are basically closed, and her reputation as "Little Pepper" is also famous.
"Childe, there seems to be someone in front."
Just as the group was walking and talking, a lean and capable servant reminded. Compared with Li Ye's own soldiers who are on guard, this group of people is not guarded at all, in their opinion, all the people who come here are the people who are hunting this time, is there any danger.
"It turned out to be her!"
Seeing the group of people who appeared in front of his team, especially the woman in uniform who had the style of a female general, Li Ye was also a little surprised.
Li Ye's team of hundreds of people is very large, so the two teams met quickly. After seeing that it was someone who participated in the hunt, and there was no threat, the pro-soldiers were much less vigilant.
Liu Chenyan and his entourage were a little surprised at first when they saw the team in front of them, but after seeing Li Ye, who had a kingly demeanor at the head, their expressions also changed. Although they hadn't seen Li Ye up close, they had seen it from afar, and with the outfits of these pro-soldiers, they could guess Li Ye's identity at once.
Just as everyone was about to come and salute, an accident suddenly happened. A sharp arrow suddenly flew out of the jungle, flew past Liu Chenyan, and finally landed in front of Li Ye.
"There are assassins!"
With a shout, the soldiers of King Shou's Mansion immediately dispersed, surrounded Li Ye and others in the middle, and then more than ten horsemen came out on the left and right to poke in the direction where the feather arrow came from.
The sudden appearance of the arrow not only scared Princess Anhua and the others, but also scared the group of men and women around Liu Chenyan enough, they didn't expect to encounter this situation, who was so bold that he dared to assassinate King Shou.
Only Li Ye didn't pay too much attention to it, because if he was really an assassin, he wouldn't be so unqualified, and the speed of that feather arrow was not fast, and in the end, it also fell in front of Li Ye more than ten steps. Where is this assassination, but it is a provocation, but he is curious, who will provoke him? The brothers Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan, who have a grudge against him, have always been by Li Yi's side, even if they are King Ji, the relationship between the two is just dull, and it hasn't reached this point yet.
Also thinking that it was not the assassination of King Shou was Liu Chenyan, because she felt that this arrow was coming at her, but it was not for her life, but for intimidation, threat, or provocation?
"Isn't this Pepper?"
Just when Liu Chenyan and the others were wondering who shot the arrow just now, a flirtatious voice came from behind them, and due to the poor sight in the woods, the group of people who suddenly appeared did not see Li Ye and the others.
"Is that you?" Seeing the visitor, Liu Chenyan was a little surprised, and turned to look at the other party with a gloating look.
The group of people who suddenly appeared was a little more numerous than Liu Chenyan's group, about 30 people, led by a few sons, to be precise, it should be a few brothers, because they looked very similar. She is very familiar with the person who spoke, because when the other party first came to Chengdu Mansion, she saw that she was beautiful and planned to tease her, don't look at the other party's five big and three thick, but she was beaten and lay on the bed for a month.
And the identity of the other party is naturally self-evident, it is Chen Jingxuan's eldest son---- Chen Liang.
"You shot that arrow?" Liu Chenyan looked at the other party still holding a bow in his left hand, and asked subconsciously.
"What? Be merciful to my son, otherwise you wouldn't have talked to me like this. Chen Liang said proudly and boldly admitted.
However, when he admitted it, he found that the group of people around Liu Chenyan looked at him like pitiful worms, which made him angry, when would a cat and a dog treat him like this.
"You're bold." Liu Chenyan looked at the soldiers of Shouwangfu who had surrounded him behind her, and couldn't help but sigh, with a smile on her face all the time, but in Chen Liang's opinion, this smile was ill-intentioned, and she couldn't help but shudder when she remembered that she had been beaten so badly by the other party before.
But soon he mustered up his courage, today his brothers brought dozens of family members, why should he be afraid, he must take this opportunity to teach each other a lesson. Although this little pepper is violent, he is really good-looking, even if he is beaten by the other party and lies on the bed, he will never forget the other party.
"My son has always been very bold。。。。。" Before the word 'big' was spoken, Chen Liang opened his eyes wide and looked at the two teams of cavalry that suddenly appeared, and then saw Li Ye and the others behind Liu Chenyan, especially the arrow in the other party's hand was the one he shot out just now.
"His Royal Highness King Shou?"
Seeing Li Ye's appearance, the first person to react was not Chen Liang, but Chen Hu on the side. Although he had met Li Ye twice, he was deeply impressed, and he originally wanted to take revenge at first, but when he heard that Li Ye, who had a conflict before, was actually King Shou, he was so frightened that he never mentioned it again.
"Shouwang?" Chen Liang was stunned at first, but soon his face changed greatly, and he wanted to ride his horse away, but he found that the soldiers of King Shou's Mansion had surrounded their group.
"You just shot the arrow?" Li Ye looked at the group of people in front of him, playing with the feather arrow in his hand, and said lightly.
He also saw Chen Hu on the side, but at this time, he didn't have time to pay attention to this person who had a conflict with him.
"Yes ... No.... Your Highness forgives the sin, this is just a misunderstanding, the villain is just joking with these people, not against His Highness. Although Chen Liang had never read a book, he also knew the seriousness of this matter, and if he was convicted of assassinating the prince, his father would not be able to protect him.
"Li Hong, what is the crime of assassinating the prince?" Li Ye didn't care about Chen Liang, but asked Li Hong on the side.
"Assassinate the prince, be punished!" Li Hong looked at Chen Liang with an unkind expression, and his right hand had already hit the saber.
"What are you doing? But for the sake of Chen Jiedu's face, leave him with his life and leave the hand he just shot the arrow to the king. "At this time, it's not that Li Ye can be good if he wants to be good, not only outsiders, but also subordinates, and he must establish his authority as a prince, otherwise how to convince the public.
"Don't, I didn't assassinate, you are framed, my father is the envoy of Xichuan Festival, and the Duke of Jin is my third uncle, you have no right to dispose of me."
Seeing the soldiers of Shouwangfu who came around, Chen Liang knew that he was going to plant it this time, and he also heard Li Ye's words, without a hand, he would be a cripple. So he panicked, so he resisted, intending to flee under the protection of the servants, and as long as he found his father, he would be spared. However, he still underestimated the personal soldiers of the Shouwang Mansion, his domestic servants were well-trained personal soldiers, and soon more than a dozen domestic servants fell to the ground and wailed, although the personal soldiers did not kill themselves, but they did not show mercy on their hands.
And Chen Liang, who was about to ride his horse and escape, had not yet run a few feet, when a sharp arrow shot directly through the front legs of the horse under him, and the war horse screamed, and then fell forward, directly throwing Chen Liang to the ground. After Li Ye's signal, several soldiers took Chen Liang into the woods, and then a miserable scream like killing pigs resounded through the woods.
And Chen Hu and several brothers didn't dare to help at all, and it wasn't until Li Ye and the others left that they went to find the brother who had been brought into the depths of the woods. After seeing his brother's tragic situation, Chen Hu and the others were also frightened by the bloody scene.
