Chapter 290: Danger is Imminent
Along the way, Chu Yue'an saw the degree of Yuwen Jinghuai's broken mouth very well, if she had a needle in her hand now, she really wanted to sew up his mouth, so when she got to the back, she simply stopped riding and squeezed in the carriage with Daisy.
After going like this for more than a few days, in addition to the border pass of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the scenery outside gradually became gloomy, and the distant mountains and green waters were gone, only full of desolation.
It's a little colder here than in the Central Plains, and although it's only the end of October, it's already snowing and the weather is drier.
Chu Yue'an's mouth had a layer of dead skin, and every time he spoke, it would tear and hurt.
"It's all deserted land ahead, and we'll have to live in the wilderness at night." Daisy said, "It's just that the snow is very heavy tonight, I don't know if you will be able to stand it." ”
Chu Yue'an is a person who practices martial arts, this cold is nothing, but Caixing was frozen enough, so she had to bring the fur fur sent by Yueyun before leaving, and she wrapped it around her body before she resisted.
Chu Yue'an glanced at Cai Xing and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Caixing nodded: "I'm fine, Miss, it's just that I was supposed to be a young lady who was served by the slave maid, but now it is Miss Lao De who takes care of the slave maid, and the slave maid is very uncomfortable in her heart." ”
Chu Yue'an pinched Caixing's face with a smile and said, "I said a long time ago, in my mind, you are my little sister, shouldn't you take care of you?" ”
At this time, the carriage stopped, and Yuwen Jinghuai said outside the car: "Let's rest here for the time being, this king has ordered people to set up camps and live, this king is now bringing people to hunt some prey and come back, you can rest here first." ”
"Wait a minute, I'll go with you." Chu Yuean lifted the curtain and said, then jumped out of the carriage and turned over on his horse.
Yuwen Jinghuai squinted his eyes and smiled: "Are you afraid of danger, so you want to protect me with you?" ”
"Your Highness's skills don't need me to worry." Chu Yue'an said lightly, "Caixing's condition is not very good, there are signs of fever, I'll go around to see if there is any medicine that can keep out the cold." ”
"Either way, it's great to be able to hunt with you on a snowy day." Yuwen Jinghuai smiled and took out a box of plasters from his arms and handed it to Chu Yue'an.
"What is this?"
"It's a paste made of honey, and you rub it on your lips, so that you can keep your lips moisturized, and look at the dead skin on your mouth, where there is still a woman's appearance." Yuwen Jinghuai said, "Take it, this king doesn't dare to do anything under your nose." ”
"No need." Chu Yue'an said lightly, "I don't need it." ”
Yuwen Jinghuai was not reluctant, he put away the paste, rode a horse to keep up with Chu Yue'an's footsteps, and asked, "Have you ever seen a wolf?" There are snow wolves in this area, we have to be careful, this snow wolf is more ferocious and cunning than the steppe wolf, if it happens, it will be in trouble. ”
At this time, I saw Yuwen Jinghuai suddenly bend his bow, and a feather arrow shot out from under his hand, and the feather arrow pierced the sky and hit a goshawk that was hovering in the air, the goshawk fell from the sky, and he rode a horse and quickly followed.
Chu Yue'an's mind was not on hunting, but looking for whether there were any medicinal materials available, she saw a herb in the crack of a brown rock, and then she dismounted and flew over, took out the dagger in her boots, and prepared to dig out the herbs.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a feather arrow flying past her ear, and when she looked back in surprise, she saw a ferret that had been shot by a feather arrow and fell to the snow.
Yuwen Jinghuai immediately stepped forward and said, "Although there are no people around here, it doesn't mean that there is no danger, can your vigilance be lowered." ”
"Thank you." Chu Yue'an pulled out the herbs as she spoke, picked up the ferret on the ground and threw it to Yuwen Jinghuai.
"Do you know how to shoot arrows?" Yuwen Jinghuai handed the bow and arrow in his hand to Chu Yue'an, "Try it?" ”
Chu Yue'an took it, bent the bow full of strings, but aimed the direction of the arrow at Yuwen Jinghuai, only to see her eyes shrink for a moment, and then the feather arrow in her hand shot out, which also crossed Yuwen Jinghuai's ear, and shot an arrow from behind Yuwen Jinghuai, and at the same time, the feather arrow shot straight into the chest of the person who threw the arrow.
Yuwen Jinghuai patted his chest: "I'm scared to death of this king." ”
Chu Yue'an put down the bow and said calmly: "It seems that there is no one here as His Highness said." ”
So saying, she mounted her horse and ran towards the man she had just shot, turned over and dismounted, examined the man, and an arrow fell into his chest, and he should have lost his life.
Yuwen Jinghuai immediately arrived.
"This dress should not be an ordinary hunter, it looks like a soldier." Chu Yue'an said, "In your opinion, where is this person?" ”
"We're just afraid we're going to be in trouble." Yuwen Jinghuai's eyes narrowed and said, "Judging by the pattern on his forehead, this is a member of the Rogge tribe." The Rog tribe was defeated by your uncle a year ago, and the remnants led by its leader fled, but they didn't expect to flee here. If you know that we have the little princess of the Zach tribe here, I am afraid that I will fight for my life and take revenge alive. ”
"Looks like we're going to have to leave as soon as possible."
Chu Yue'an dug a snow pit, buried the body, and then rushed back to the direction of the large army with Yuwen Jinghuai.
Chu Yue'an told Daisy about their discovery: "This place is very dangerous to come by, we have to go back in a different direction." ”
Daisy also showed a hint of worry: "I really didn't expect the Rogue tribe to escape here." ”
Yuwen Jinghuai scratched the next route on the ground: "If you continue to walk in this direction, you will likely bump into the people of the Rog tribe, but from this direction, it will take a few days to detour, but the danger will be much reduced." ”
"If what we had encountered today was just an accident, that might have been fine, but what if there was not just one soldier we met today, and there were other people at the time? If we don't follow the same path, they will guess our direction and intercept us. Chu Yue'an's eyes rolled, "The soldiers are divided into two ways." ”
"How do you divide the soldiers into two ways?" Daisy asked.
"Daisy, you take a small group of people and take a long detour back from the small path." Chu Yue'an said, "I still have the King of Chu and the Beat Tribe to continue to move forward in the original direction. ”
"How's that going to work?" Daisy hurriedly objected, "Wouldn't you be in danger then?" ”
"We are not from the Zack tribe, he is still the king of Chu in the Southern Tang Dynasty, I think the people in the remnants of Rogge should not have the courage to move the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty." Chu Yue'an said, "Let's meet in the grassland." ”
"But ......"
"No, but." Chu Yue'an said, "Without further ado, you will leave with a few of your henchmen now, and in addition, if you don't know martial arts, let's go with you." ”
"No, I'm going to be with Miss." Cai Xing hurriedly said.
"Obedient." Chu Yuean said with a straight face, "If you stay, I will have to take care of you." ”
She said as she handed the herbs she had picked not long ago to Caixing from her bosom: "It will be much better to chew a few leaves when you feel cold." ”
She said to Daisy again: "For the sake of insurance, all the people you bring with you have changed into the clothes of the Southern Tang, and if you encounter danger, the people who call themselves the Southern Tang Dynasty have been separated from the caravan." In recent years, the Southern Tang Dynasty has been at its peak, and they should not embarrass the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Don't waste time, just do what I do. ”
After speaking, she turned her head and glanced at Yuwen Jinghuai again: "What does Your Highness think?" ”
Yuwen Jinghuai shrugged his shoulders: "You have the final say, I have no objection at all." ”
sighed with the wind, after getting married in the future, the prince's position is in jeopardy.
Let's say that Daisy and her entourage changed into Nantang's clothes, Daisy took Chu Yue'an's hand and admonished: "Cousin, you must be very careful, I am waiting for you in the grassland, and my father is also waiting for you." ”
Chu Yue'an hooked her lips and smiled: "Don't worry, I'll be fine." Help me take care of the stars. ”
"Miss......"
"It's fine." Chu Yue'an said, "Believe me, just wait for me to meet." ”
Then Daisy and the others left and walked down the path.
Chu Yue'an and Yuwen Jinghuai took the large army and continued the original trip, she sat next to the fire and said to Yuwen Jinghuai: "Didn't you come back from hunting some prey?" Don't bake it yet? ”
"Are you hungry? Wait, wait! Yuwen Jinghuai immediately asked his subordinates to deal with the prey that he had brought back, and he took the wine bag and sat next to Chu Yue'an, "Take a sip and warm up." ”
Chu Yue'an took the wine bag, took a big sip, and looked at Yuwen Jinghuai on the side: "Aren't you afraid that you will be in danger?" ”
"What's there to be afraid of?" Yuwen Jinghuai shrugged his shoulders, "The danger here is openly snatched, and I don't know how much better than those hidden arrows with intrigues and tricks." Besides, if you weren't by my side, no amount of danger would be anything to me. ”
"I expected that this road might not be peaceful before I came, but I didn't expect it to be guessed." Chu Yue'an smiled, "It's a shame that I didn't let Qingbai come." ”
"This place is close to Nantang, will the remnants of Rogge really come here?" Yuwen Jinghuai said thoughtfully.
"What do you mean? Do you think it's not an accident but someone can arrange it? Chu Yuean frowned and asked.
"It's just my guess." Yuwen Jinghuai smiled and shook the fire with the wooden stick on the side, "Maybe I'm thinking too much, maybe it's not necessarily." ”
Both of them did not speak as if in deep thought, and the prepared prey was set up on the fire, and in a short time there was a tempting scent.
The food that Yuwen Jinghuai eats has always been exquisite, so he brought a lot of spices, and this condiment, these barbecues are even more mouth-watering.
