The field hunting ceremony finally came to a successful conclusion. The Yingyang Junfu undoubtedly gained the most, although King Qi was busy with the tenderness and sweetness of Yingji and did not pay much attention to it, but the praise of the royal family was also of great benefit to the Yingyang Junfu. Xiang Chonghua declined the grace of being parallel to Liu Xiwei, and was far behind Qin Fei and Wei Qianxue.

Wei Qianxue said: "This field hunting ceremony has finally ended successfully, recalling the twists and turns, Xue'er still has palpitations." ”

Xiang Chonghua said: "I feel that the matter is still not over. Although the crown prince installed Yingji to King Qi's side, on the whole, his calculations for the Yingyang Monarch's Mansion did not achieve his goal. ”

Qin Fei said: "And the prince is actually calm, it's a bit abnormal." ”

Wei Qianxue said: "But now that the ceremony has ended, and in addition to the king, there is also the crown prince who is protecting King Qi." If the king has three long and two short, the prince will not be able to escape it. ”

Xiang Chonghua frowned and said nothing. The centaurs crossed a valley full of greenery. I saw a flock of plump sheep looming in the waves of grass, and the gently flowing river reflecting the towering mountain tops and lush trees, a peaceful scene.

Wei Qianxue couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "What a beautiful scenery." During the three days of hunting, we chased scattered prey, and it was the first time we had seen such a concentrated and peaceful flock of sheep. ”

Da Xu, embroidered with the word "Qi", slowly stopped, and King Qi took Yingji's hand and walked out of the car. Liu Xiwei turned over and dismounted and presented them with two cloaks, and said, "Does my father have something to tell his sons?" ”

King Qi looked at Ying Ji dotingly, and said with a smile: "Ying Ji complained to the widow that she didn't show her skills well, and the widow couldn't help but itch when he saw the herds of cattle and sheep here. The king of Xiwei went to fetch two bows and arrows from the widow, and the widow wanted to share the joy of hunting with Yingji. ”

Liu Xiwei was a little embarrassed, and said: "If my father is still unsatisfied, it is better to be accompanied by his sons and come to Chu Mengze to hunt for a few days." This place is no longer in Chu Mengze, the father is the body of ten thousand venerables, if there is anything missing......"

Ying Ji covered her mouth and smiled: "With our invincible Yingyangjun, what can go wrong?" What's more, before Tian Hunting, Chu Mengze's vicinity should have been checked several times. The king is so powerful and invincible, who else will he be afraid of? He shook King Qi's arm and said coquettishly: "The concubine also wants to use the animal skin she captured herself to make a mattress for the king." ”

King Qi hugged her slender waist and laughed, "That's right. It's nothing more than hunting prey. When the widow was as old as Xi Wei, he had already followed the army of the first king to fight many times. ”

When Qu Gong and Ling Yin and other important ministers heard that King Qi was interested in going hunting halfway, they also rushed over, but King Qi not only refused to give in, but also wanted to take Ying Ji to act. Everyone persuaded hard for a long time, and even the Queen Mother was alarmed, so King Qi agreed to be escorted by the crown prince, Yingyangjun and others, and Tai Bu accompanied him.

Yingyang Junfu was surprised and anxious when he heard the news that King Qi was going to hunt. Although there were many guards in the palace, King Qi clearly requested that only a few people could be brought to escort him, and in the end he could only send six people including Xiang Chonghua and Sun Le.

Qin Fei specially told the six people to bring signal fireworks bombs, and whispered: "The king just thought of hunting here, and eighty percent was instigated by Yingji. Here is a heavy mountain, lush trees and grass, is a good place to hide the ambush soldiers, must prevent the prince from leaving a back hand. If there is any accident, you must send a signal in time, and don't be a hero. ”

Sun Le played with the signal flare in his hand and said absentmindedly: "The prince personally escorts him, and if something happens, he won't be able to escape." We don't need to be so nervous, right? ”

Sun Zhe, who was five years older than him, said: "Although Mr. Qin is young, he is cautious and thoughtful, but he is rarely matched. If it weren't for his haste to get wise, Yingyangjun would have been harmed by the prince as early as the opening ceremony. The crown prince wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the Yingyang Monarch's Mansion. I'd better be careful. ”

Qin Fei looked left and right for a week, lowered his voice and said, "I am afraid that the king will suffer the prince's secret loss again, so I can only speak boldly." Although the Tian Hunting Ceremony has ended, and the crown prince also has an unshirkable responsibility for the safety of the king, this is only based on the premise that the king is still the king of Qi. If the crown prince becomes the king of Qi, who else will hold him responsible? ”

Everyone was shocked, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to check one after another, making sure that no one else heard their discussion, and then said in a low voice: "Although the prince has bad intentions, he doesn't have to be so anxious, right?" ”

Qin Fei shook his head and said, "The big Sima who should be escorted the most should not accompany him, no matter how you look at it, it is too abnormal." But it would be appropriate to interpret it as to interrupt the Praetorian Guard's rescue of the king in distress. There are also Jiang Guo and Chen Guo, two countries that have always been afraid of Qi State, and it is unreasonable for them to take the initiative to provoke and insult the Yingyang Monarch's Mansion. If you just want to humiliate us, wouldn't picking one of them make us even more ugly? But they would rather lose themselves than let more people be injured, obviously wanting to weaken the combat effectiveness of our generals. These are probably the foreshadowings prepared by the prince for the surprise attack. ”

The six of them all nodded, and each of them put away the flares in a precious place.

Qin Fei said: "In short, no matter what happens, the most important thing is to save the king's life." I have already discussed with the chief manager Xibo just now, and as soon as I see the signal flare, everyone in my house will rush to the rescue first. Xibo and Xu Chong, the leader of the Praetorian Guard, have always been friends, and after the preparation of this field hunting ceremony, the king is also quite popular in the Praetorian Guard. If Da Sima dared to play any tricks to delay the rescue, Xu Chong would definitely not allow it. ”

Xiang Chonghua said happily: "It would be great if we could get the cooperation of the Praetorian Guards. ”

Sun Zhe frowned and said, "That being said. But the king brought too few people who were willing to escort him. After all, the Praetorian Guards are not our own people, and if Da Sima uses some tricks to make us miss the opportunity, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Qin Fei said: "Not bad. Therefore, the most important thing is your close protection of the king. There is also Taibu, who has always been bad at martial arts but also followed the king to hunt, so he must not be taken lightly. ”

King Qi was already getting ready to go, and everyone stepped on their mounts to escort them.

Although it is late autumn, the country of Qi is still lush in the south. The boundless grasslands stretch across the sky, and clear streams and small rivers crisscross the sky. A narrow wooden bridge spans the river and is opposite a deep forest. Three of the six warriors under the Yingyang Emperor's mansion were sent to protect Yingji and Taibu, while Xiang Chonghua was in charge of protecting King Qi.

King Qi was full of spirits when he was accompanied by beauty, and he drew his bow and arrows at the sheep scattered in the grass, but he didn't shoot any of them, but scattered the sheep. As soon as King Qi pulled his horse's back, he chased after a handful of fat and healthy sheep, Liu Xiwei followed closely, and Xiang Chonghua and others followed behind Liu Xiwei and kept a certain distance from him.

Liu Xixuan beat his horse and passed by the last Xiang Chonghua, stopped in front of him, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "After seeing the heroic appearance of Hua Hero in the past three days, the prince's desire to seek talent has increased even more. How about it, if you agree to join the prince's mansion now, you can give you any official position you want, why bother to follow a little Yingyang Jun to suppress his ambition, and if you can't even save your life? ”

King Qi's figure had already stepped on the wooden bridge, except for Liu Xiwei who followed closely, a group of guards were worried that the wooden bridge would not be able to bear too much weight, so they only dared to wait for them to cross the bridge safely before stepping forward. But what King Qi rode was a Dawan BMW, which had long been missing.

Xiang Chonghua frowned, then smiled and said, "The Tao is not the same." There are so many people who want to tie up the prince, there are a lot of Shaohuazhong, and there are too many Huazhong, why should Huazhong join in the fun? The road here is slippery, and the prince should be careful of his feet, if he falls, it will be ugly. After finishing speaking, he clamped his legs and ran forward, and the dirt splashed up. Liu Xiqiu's strength suit was stained with a large piece, he gritted his teeth in anger, whipped the whip hard, and said to himself: "Huazhong, don't regret it!" ”

King Qi threw off all the guards, felt so unhappy, and looked back, for fear of being caught up again. Ying Ji drove the red horse out of a small road, and none of the guards who were supposed to follow closely behind were gone, and the one running in front of the red horse was actually the head sheep that King Qi had just liked.

She looked away and saw King Qi, and smiled non-stop: "The concubine is chasing this sheep so hard, the king is coming to help the concubine!" ”

Without thinking about it, King Qi pulled the reins and turned into a path with Ying Ji, and at the end of the road was a dense forest, and the dazzling sunlight was blocked by the thick shade, leaving only the light and shadow of the land. The head sheep burrowed into the dense forest, but Ying Ji stopped from moving, but pointed to the thick shade and shouted: "The sheep is stuck in the bushes, the king is quick, shoot it quickly!" ”

King Qi rushed into the dense forest, and the sound of horses' hooves became farther and farther away. Young-hee curled her hair from the side of her face with her fingers, and a vicious smile rose into the corners of her mouth. The sound of horses' hooves sounded behind her, and she saw Xiang Chonghua as soon as she turned around. Xiang Chonghua arched his hand and said, "Does Ying Ji know where the king has gone?" ”

Ying Ji's face changed slightly, and then she raised her head and said, "Shouldn't the people of Yingyang Junfu be inseparable from the king?" What is a concubine, you ask? ”

Xiang Chonghua looked straight into her flickering eyes, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a few horseshoe prints hidden under the long grass, just hit the horse.

Ying Ji said loudly and urgently: "Stop! The king is not here, what are you doing there? As soon as the words came out, he immediately blushed.

Xiang Chonghua sneered and turned around and arched his hand: "Thank you Yingji for your advice!" "Follow the footprints and go into the forest.

The dense forest is mainly composed of hundred-year-old banyan trees, and the intertwined roots and branches of the trees and other tall trees are intertwined into a dense network of trees, which is not only extremely dimly lit, but also needs to be guarded against at all times. Xiang Chonghua rode his horse forward cautiously, and at the same time mobilized the senses of his whole body to pay attention to the movements around. After walking for a while, I saw the birds in front of me fluttering their wings, and the screams of King Qi and the sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded one after another.
