Chapter 172: The Old Horse Doesn't Know the Way

This hunting ground has always been in the hands of the royal family, adjacent to the Jingshui River, surrounded by cliffs.

Because it is located at a relatively high altitude, even in summer, it is not hot.

Therefore, the Celestial Empire has always had a season for summer hunting.

It's not that Qiu Jue hasn't ridden a horse, but she doesn't like this feeling, just like learning to ride a bicycle before, she can only ride an elbow with a low seat, not a mountain bike.

That kind of straight head and high seat will give her a feeling of instability, so Qiu Jue doesn't like to ride a horse either.

The bicycle was still on the ground, and the horse jumped up directly, making her even more insecure.

Sitting on Zhong Ling's back, Qiu Jue muttered, "Why do you still learn to ride a horse?" ”

The previous dynasty was still civil, and the current dynasty was martial, but it was for men, and women were still virtuous if they were not talented.

Zhong Lingtou didn't reply: "Daddy originally wanted me to learn martial arts, but I was too stupid to learn, so Daddy asked people to teach me to ride a horse, saying that if I was bullied in the future, I would ride back to my parents' house, otherwise I would have to walk for a long time." ”

Qiu Jue deeply felt that Zhong Ling's father was a very sensible person.

"Huh? Where are we? ”

The two of them chatted like this, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the people who were in front of them and behind them were gone, it should be said, just for a while, the women who rode down together were gone, including their horses.

"Woo ......" Zhong Ling hurriedly grabbed the reins, and the horse neighed, because it was too eager, its front hooves were raised, and it shook in the air for a moment before stopping.

Qiu Jue's center of gravity was unstable for a while, and the hand holding Zhong Ling subconsciously let go and wanted to grab other people's things, but he fell straight back.

Zhong Ling wanted to stabilize her body, still controlling the horse, and when she didn't notice it for a while, she heard a plop behind her, and she subconsciously turned around and found that Qiu Jue had fallen to the ground.

"The Queen Mother's ......"

She was almost scared to death, and after jumping off the horse, she hurried to help Qiu Jue, tears fell down in strings, and smashed on Qiu Jue's face, wet and uncomfortable.

"Niangniang, how are you?"

Zhong Ling helped her up and quickly pinched her arms and legs, Qiu Jue was tickled by her, and hurriedly went to hide, "I'm fine, don't pinch it." ”

"Are you alright?" Zhong Ling stood in place, looking at her at a loss.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that my life was about to be gone.

This is the Queen Mother, "Sister Xue asked me to protect my mother, but the concubine was so stupid that she fell my mother, if you want to have something, what should the concubine do?" ”

Zhong Ling was really crying, and he was scared.

Qiu Jue is really fine, I don't know if the trees here are too lush, the dead leaves on the ground are covered with a thick layer, she really fell down, but when she came down, her butt hit the ground first, and there was nothing wrong at all.

"You say, Sister Xue asked you to come?"

Qiu Jue still called her like she did at the beginning, Zhong Ling nodded, wiping her tears and replying, "She doesn't know martial arts, and she doesn't know how to ride and shoot, so let the concubine prepare in advance, she said that someone must stumble on you." ”

After changing the topic, Zhong Ling's crying bag stopped crying, Qiu Jue patted her shoulder and said, "You have a heart." ”

Then she looked around and found that there was really no one here, it stands to reason that they set off together, because Zhong Ling's purpose was to protect Qiu Jue, so she ran relatively fast, but she could also hear the sound of horses' hooves behind her, and the occasional small animals around her.

Someone opened a bow, someone took an arrow, and everyone quickly dispersed, after all, they didn't want to conflict with others so early, saving others cheap.

Zhong Ling followed Qiu Jue and walked forward slowly, and the two walked out about ten zhang, and Qiu Jue stopped.

"Mother, what's wrong?" This girl is very bold, and looks around curiously.

"Don't you think there's something wrong here?"

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Zhong Ling was surprised.

Qiu Jue pointed to this circle and said, "Can you hear anything?" ”

Zhong Ling blinked, "Ah, this is a hunting ground, how can there be no animal sounds?" Was he driven away by someone else? ”

I don't know when the fog rose around, and the vision of the two became more and more blurred, Qiu Jue realized that something was wrong, so he pulled Zhong Ling back to the horse.

"We have to get out of here."

Qiu Jue looked at the strangeness here in a deep voice, if she didn't understand that someone was targeting her, it would really be in vain.

But, God knows, she doesn't have any skills, why do so many people want her to die?

"Then let's go back." Zhong Ling said, turned over on the horse, and said, "Niangniang, come up quickly." ”

Qiu Jue was pulled up by her, and the direction of the two of them rushed back and forth.

However, in their memory, they have walked for half an hour, but they have never reached the end, and there is no sign of familiarity.

Even the horses snorted tiredly in protest.

The two dismounted again, Zhong Ling was really scared and cried now, of course she was not afraid, she just felt that she did not protect Qiu Jue, and she might never see Sister Xue again in the future and be sad.

"We're stuck."

Before Qiu Jue came, the blackbird had roughly introduced her to the hunting grounds, and she could be sure that they were still in the hunting grounds, but she didn't know why this happened.

"Help, is there anyone?"

Zhong Ling was so anxious that she subconsciously shouted outside, Qiu Jue didn't stop her, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly slapped the horse and let it move forward.

Zhong Ling was surprised, "Niangniang, what are you doing?" "Love the Book House

"Isn't there such a thing as an old horse knowing the way? I'll see if it can get us out. ”

Qiu Jue was very uneasy, they had walked for so long, and they really hadn't seen a living thing, which was too strange for the hunting ground, and it also meant danger.

"What's so dangerous about this place?"

At this moment, Fan Yinyin and Shangguan Ying were riding on their horses, looking in one direction at the same time.

There was a thick fog that covered everything, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

Fan Yinyin was dressed in a fiery red riding suit, very bright, and when she heard this, the corners of her mouth raised, and she snorted from her nose, and said, "What danger, do you want to try it yourself." ”

Shangguan Ying smiled wantonly, and the temperament of the whole person was chivalrous, and there was a nobility that people could not be forced to look at.

"This palace doesn't have the courage of your Queen Mother of the Heavenly Dynasty."

She sighed, then remembered last year's incident, and said: "I think that at the beginning, she didn't have any ability, so she dared to break into the Huainan Mansion alone, I really don't know how she survived to this day?" ”

During this time, Fan Yinyin quickly collected everything about Qiu Jue, snorted when she heard the words, and said: "People have a good life, they have a good life, they have better food and clothing than the princess of a country, and they are always protected, and the dead soldiers of the Qiu family exist to protect her." ”

There was some sourness in her words, Shangguan Ying didn't take it seriously at all, after all, with her relationship with Qiu Jue, she naturally knew that Qiu Jue was not the kind of person who had nothing to show for it.

"Someone must report such a big thing to your emperor, if you let her know that you did it, then then ......"

"Don't worry, they won't say anything."

Fan Yinyin is not worried about this at all.

Shangguan Ying glanced at her meaningfully, and said, "How much enmity do you have with this Queen Mother of the West, and you actually accompanied so many people's lives in order to kill her." ”

She naturally understood the meaning of Fan Yinyin's words, and the ten noble girls who came out with them were afraid that they would all die.

"Whoever makes them troublesome will come with him. Besides, they should feel honored to be able to accompany the Queen Mother to the funeral. ”

Here, as soon as the two of them finished speaking, a fast horse galloped and stopped in front of them.

Shangguan Ying only glanced at it, and then kicked the horse's back to avoid it from afar.

After making sure that she was far away and couldn't hear it, Fan Yinyin lowered her face and said, "What's the matter?" ”

This person was one of the noble ladies who went with him, and when he heard this, he immediately dismounted and saluted, "Miss, something has happened." ”

"What's the situation?"

"Among those people, there is a particularly difficult woman, who is the Yang family."

"The Yang family?" Fan Yinyin was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "The four girls of their family are already married and are not good at riding and shooting, why did she come?" ”

The man hurriedly bowed his head and said, "It's not her, it's the fifth girl of their family who is back." ”

"Yang Duoduo, it's her."

Fan Yinyin thought for a while and ordered: "Don't worry about her, the Yang family is not an enemy at this time, by the way, has the saint in Lingnan been found?" ”

"Miss forgive the sins, yet, not yet."

"Waste, don't go find it quickly, that woman can't even ride a horse, how far can she walk, you are really a bunch of waste."

"Yes, yes."

The woman hit the horse and left quickly, and Fan Yinyin stayed in place for a while before leaving.

The place instantly became extremely quiet, and after a while, a woman in white walked out from behind the tree, it was the Lingnan saintess Fan Yinyin was looking for, Wula Yingyue.

She looked at their departing backs and whispered, "Uradour, is that you?" ”

For a long time, Ula Yingyue didn't wait for the person she was waiting for, so she looked at the foggy forest in front of her again.

Qiu Jue and the others failed again, the old horse didn't know the way this time, even if there was only a few miles away, the horse couldn't go out.

Zhong Ling was really scared, and they were also exhausted, and they had no strength at all.

"Mother, are we going to die here?"

Qiu Jue gave her an answer, "No, someone will come to save us." ”

She had tried all the methods she should try, but she was afraid that the magnetic field would be chaotic, so she tried to walk out blindfolded, but she still couldn't get out.

"But no one knew something had happened to us."

Zhong Ling was very scared, she had always stayed at home obediently before, and she had never seen much of the outside world.

It's just a summer hunt, and when she encounters this kind of thing, she will be scared to death.

I don't have any idea at all, everything is up to Qiu Jue.

"Don't be afraid, let's rest here for a while." When they first entered, the fog was not so thick, and now it is fading, though not very noticeable.

But Qiu Jue was sure that this fog could only trap them for a while, not for a long time.

"I'm scared." Zhong Ling hugged Qiu Jue's arm tightly and sat next to her, but his expression was not very calm.

The two were about to rest, when they suddenly heard a strange voice.

"Mother, what's that sound?"

Zhong Ling's teeth chattered.
