Chapter 218: The Trap in the Mountain
After listening to Xiang Ye's heart-to-heart speech, Bo Zhaoxu and Qiu Ming's faces were equally complicated.
"I'm afraid you've really forgotten how this was arranged."
Qiu Ming endured the headache and shook his head helplessly, but fortunately, Bo Zhaoxu gave him a step and kicked a stool behind him, which finally made him take a breath: "According to what Ben Hou reported to the old man at that time, you and the fourth prince should live in Ben Hou's Hou Mansion at this time, so who do you say live in this inn?" ā
Xiang Ye's smile suddenly disappeared, and the matter at that time was so smooth that she almost forgot about this stubble, but she didn't expect that the monarch of Western Xia would still have the idea of seeing herself!
She shuddered in a creepy way, with the almost pathological paranoid nature of the Western Xia monarch, she was afraid that she would not be able to get out of the palace safely if she entered the palace.
"You can't go!" Xiang Yeyan changed his mind anxiously, "Or the Hou Ye will say that there is something at home, and I have already rushed back overnight, right?" ā
After calming down, Xiang Yeqian didn't seem to be so afraid of the Western Xia monarch anymore, she even felt that the Western Xia monarch should be afraid of Bo Zhaoxu - don't hide a little longer, I'm afraid that before Qiu Ming's matter is resolved, Bo Zhaoxu has already slaughtered the Western Xia monarch one step in advance.
"That's what Ben Hou thinks."
Qiu Ming nodded solemnly, he agreed with Xiang Ye's proposal very much: "The evidence that Miss Tangyun wants to submit to this candidate, this candidate has already submitted it, and it should be able to drag on for a day or two, this candidate is thinking, please come forward with the prince and help this candidate solve the second thing that Miss Tangyun said, as for this candidate's ......"
He paused, and there was a solemn sense of generosity to die: "In the past few days, Ben Hou will try to hold off the old thing, so that he can stop this idea as soon as possible!" If it weren't for the conditions proposed by Tang Yun's girl who were too tricky, I would have wiped the old thing's neck right now. ā
"Let's do it."
Bo Zhaoxu pondered for a moment and agreed to Qiu Ming's proposal.
He and Qiu Ming only have two consensuses, one of which is to let Tang Yun stay away from Xiang Yeqi, don't kiss and hug Xiang Yeqi every day to be coquettish, and if you have nothing to do, you have to stick to Xiang Yeqi's face - asking is sour.
And this second thing is to keep the lustful old thing of the Western Xia monarch away from Xiang Yeqi, the two of them almost reached a consensus without discussion, Rao is now arranging everything properly, and also preparing for the worst, as long as the Western Xia monarch vainly tries to dye the night and wants to reach out to Xiang Yeqi's side, then they can also abandon all plans.
Any righteousness and fame can be left behind, and the usurpation of the throne is just a matter of time, and he has the name of rebelling against the thief, and he can still rely on righteous deeds in the future to win back a game.
But if the monarch of the Western Xia Kingdom was allowed to stretch out his hand to the side of the night, how could there be any room for regret?
After dinner, Bo Zhaoxu set off to take Xiang Yeqi to the village that Tang Yun said, and he did not want to delay for a moment.
Although the national strength of the Western Xia is strong, it can indeed only be called a small country, out of the prosperous capital of the carriage and horses, there are only sparse small towns on the edge of the road, and then the smaller ones, most of them are old-style villages where clans live in groups, and the mountains are close to hunting for a living, and there is fishing for the industry near the water, after all, there is a craft to carry forward.
However, a territory like the Western Xia Kingdom still belongs to the former.
The village Tang Yun said has lived in the Wang family for many years, and the country is not far away, but the two-day journey is enough to make people toss.
Although Tang Yun sent a letter in advance to say hello, when Bo Zhaoxu rushed to the outside of Wang's village with Xiang Yeqi, it was already the third watch in the middle of the night, so how could he expect to have any place to stay. According to Bo Zhaoxu's original intention, everyone gathered around the carriage for the night and then bothered at dawn.
The night was quiet, and after two days of twists and turns, he yawned sleepily to the night, and was about to take a nap when he heard the footsteps of a thin rope.
She leaned out of the carriage halfway, patted Bo Zhaoxu, who was standing outside the carriage, on the shoulder, and asked uneasily, "Did you hear any sound?" ā
"I hear you."
Bo Zhaoxu's voice was very soft, he looked around defensively, raised his hand to the hilt of the knife on his waist, everything was extremely cautious.
The other guards beside him all had the same looks, and Xiang Yeqi thought the same, Bo Zhaoxu had taken people on a long trip far more than himself, so why did he need her to remind everyone to be more vigilant. In a trance, Bo Zhaoxu flicked her forehead and said angrily: "It's cold at night, go back and put on some clothes, it's not easy to find a doctor here." ā
He stuck out his tongue to Yeqi, but said in his heart that Bo Zhaoxu was a dead tsundere, and if she was worried, wouldn't she be able to say it directly? However, it is also true that the temperature difference between the day and night in the Western Xia Kingdom is very obedient, and Xiang Yeqi returned to the carriage very obediently, put on the cloak left by Bo Zhaoxu, and then poked his head out again.
Such a deserted village was already silent, and Bo Zhaoxu's subordinates deliberately limited the sound they could make in their words and deeds, which was really quiet enough to allow Xiang Yeqi to hear his breathing clearly.
That'sā
Xiang Yeyan covered her mouth in amazement, such a rural night scene could not be seen at any time, she just looked at it curiously, and found that it was not a pair of fireflies hanging on the bushes at all! Why didn't she notice it, how could the fireflies be carried one-to-one?
That's a pair of wolf eyes aimed at their prey!
Finding the source of the footsteps, Xiang Yeqi still didn't dare to make too much noise, she carefully poked Bo Zhaoxu's juniors, and after making eye contact, she pointed to the pair of small green lanterns in the grass to Yeqi.
Bo Zhaoxu raised his hand to signal to the guards beside him, and even if several dark arrows were fired at the wild wolf, it didn't even have time to counterattack the prey that had been targeted, and was killed on the spot.
Xiang Yeqi breathed a sigh of relief, she actually had a feeling of fatigue that she had just run a ten-kilometer marathon, and before she could do anything, she collapsed directly on the edge of the door frame of the carriage.
Damn it, it's really deadly.
"Your Highness!"
Bo Zhaoxu's right hand suddenly came from an exclamation, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the strange sound in the seclusion......
Seeing this, Xiang Ye's heartbeat was about to stop.
Under what difficult conditions did the people of this village survive? Could it be that this is why they are destined to be a small village with few people?
Bo Zhaoxu's subordinates suddenly became disordered, and at some point, there were constantly wild beasts waiting for an opportunity to move around them, from the withered wild bears that were as tall as a man to the fat wild foxes with bared teeth, and Xiang Yeqi even felt that he could smell their saliva.
The guards came forward worriedly and asked Bo Zhaoxu's opinion: "Your Highness, can you release arrows?" It's just beasts, so don't worry about it. ā
Bo Zhaoxu lowered his eyes and was silent, as if he was worried.
Seeing that the guards in front of him seemed to have some bold ideas, Xiang Yeqi hurriedly interrupted: "Don't release arrows." ā
"If it's an assassin in an ambush, you can just release arrows, but in this wilderness, there will be big problems when you release arrows." It can be said that the teaching to Yeqi can be described as well-intentioned, "Unless you release this arrow to shoot all the beasts, if you see blood, you will attract more beasts, and then won't it be difficult?" ā
The guard was the idea of asking for credit after settling the situation for Bo Zhaoxu, and he was scolded by Xiang Yeqi like this, and he was out of proportion, and Mu Ne said: "Wang, the princess is talking about ......"
The corners of Bo Zhaoxu's mouth rose slightly, and he felt a sense of pride in the whims like Ye Qi.
"Wait." He commanded, "The beasts in the mountains are so gathered, the real number is abnormal, don't rush to use the sword, lest the bloody qi attract more beasts." ā
This is natural, although Xiang Yeqi doesn't know much about the habits of these animals, he also knows that most of them are not animals that like to live in groups, let alone live in groups with other races, and now a food chain is about to be made up!
Bo Zhaoxu knew how to observe the situation, but those beasts might not understand, and soon a jackal dog strode towards Bo Zhaoxu with bloody wolf meat in his mouth.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
The guard was dazed by the blood dripping from the jackal's mouth, as if the jackal had bitten Bo Zhaoxu's arm, panicked, and rushed forward with a knife.
He didn't hurt half a point, and the jackal was split in two by it on the spot.
Pig teammates! Xiang Yeqi sighed with emotion, and the violent smell of blood really stimulated those mountain beasts to be even more excited, and they pounced forward one after another, and were beheaded by Bo Zhaoxu's guards.
Suddenly, the grass where the beasts were entrenched collapsed, and the most difficult beasts fell into the trap out of thin air.
The treetops trembled, and a man dressed in animal skins jumped off the branch, threw a thick rope into the hand of Xiang Yeqi, and shouted, "Girl, take a hand!" ā
Xiang Yeqi riveted his strength, and finally grabbed the thick rope in a panic.
Wait, why did she listen to what this man had to say? What if it's a trap that pulls and it gets wrong? Wouldn't that be a death?
Before Xiang Yeqi could think too much, the man took out the bow on his back, shot down three wild foxes that pounced on him in one fell swoop, and turned around and shouted, "Let it go!" ā
Xiang Yeqi responded, but it was Bo Zhaoxu who reacted faster, cutting off the thick rope in Xiang Yeqi's hand with a knife, and instantly triggered a hundred mechanisms.
The beasts that were dormant around were all ambushed in an instant, and they could not even hear the slightest movement.
The man in the animal skin smiled heroically, and went around to the back of the carriage as if he had nothing to do, and tore off something similar to a tiger skin from the tree, and said, "I frightened you, I didn't expect you to come at such a good time, and now that you are fine, when are you going to enter the village with me?" Will you go tonight, or tomorrow morning? ā
After listening to the man's words, Xiang Yeqi also figured out what his identity was, but it was not the "beautiful and kind" Brother Wang in Tang Yun's mouth.
