Chapter 203: Ambush
Ye Ying's slightly threatening words would have worked against Qi Qiao'er a few days ago, but since the old lady had returned to the house, she had a backer, so she was naturally not afraid.
Rolling her eyes, she didn't bother to say more to Ye Ying.
After half a day of hunting, the people in the forest began to return.
Ye Ying knew that Qi Muyuan would not return if he didn't finish the day, so she didn't wait for him, she had lunch by herself, and in the afternoon, she walked around with the other ladies, enjoying the scenery and talking, and eating and drinking.
At this time, in a corner of the forest, Su Ziheng and Hongyi were hiding among them, dressed in black, holding bows and arrows.
They hid in the mountains all morning, and finally figured out Qi Muyuan's hunting route.
After pondering the map for a while, Su Ziheng's finger fell on one of them, and said to the red clothes: "After a while, you will ambush here, watch my instructions to act, and when Qi Muyuan passes by, you will immediately release the rabbit we caught, and when he concentrates on dealing with the rabbit, I will have a chance to deal with him." ”
"Remember, whether you succeed or not, retreat the moment my arrow strikes."
"Yes, Redcoat understands."
The caged rabbit fluttered twice, tilted its head, and looked at the two people in front of him with red eyes, completely unsure of what would happen next.
After calculating the time, their master and servant arrived at a good place, and after each hiding, they waited for Qi Muyuan to pass by.
According to his previous pattern, he should have passed here in a quarter of an hour.
Time passed little by little, and the sun shone overhead, making their already stuffy heat even more unbearable.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.
Hongyi and Su Ziheng both stopped breathing, their eyes were firmly fixed on the direction from which the voice came, and they didn't dare to move.
Soon, a black figure appeared in their field of vision accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves.
Qi Muyuan held the bow in his hand, and a pair of sharp eyes scanned the surroundings tightly, not letting go of any movement.
Red's hand holding the rabbit cage tightened.
At the moment when Qi Muyuan walked within Su Ziheng's attack range, her slender fingers shook slightly, and the rabbit cage was opened.
He teased the rabbit with a grass branch, and he immediately crawled up vigilantly.
In the next moment, the rabbit kicked on its hind legs and ran forward.
The sound of squirming immediately attracted Qi Muyuan's attention.
He took the arrow in his bow, his eyes narrowed, and his gaze followed the rabbit closely, and the bow gradually filled.
At the moment when he released the arrow, a sound suddenly crossed his ears.
Qi Muyuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously dodged sideways, the arrow grazed his shoulder, passed against his face, and finally nailed to the tree, making a "ding" sound.
There was a burning pain on his shoulder.
Qi Muyuan's face turned pale, and his eyes were suddenly full of murderous aura and coldness.
"Who? Come out! ”
His shouts echoed through the forest, and there was not a single movement.
Turning over and dismounting, he surveyed around and found two signs of an ambush.
The soldiers who heard the sound arrived at the scene, and the person in the lead saw that Qi Muyuan was injured, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and he ran over and said nervously: "General, you ......"
"It doesn't matter."
Qi Muyuan raised his arm to stop his words, his eyes heavy.
"You send someone to check around, and I'll go back first."
"Yes."
The leader immediately waved his arm and scattered with the people to find the perpetrator.
Qi Muyuan glanced at the wound on his shoulder, only to feel that his entire arm was numb.
I don't know if it's poisoning or other reasons, so it's better to go back and see.
He threw his bow over his shoulder, mounted his horse, and drove back to the camp.
At this time, the emperor had already returned, and was laughing with the ministers.
Qi Muyuan came back from being injured, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
A flash of panic flashed in Ye Ying's eyes, and she ran over without saying a word to the ladies around her.
"What's wrong with you?"
Qi Muyuan pursed his lips and shook his head.
"What are you shaking your head for? What the hell is going on? ”
Ye Ying was even more anxious, her eyes were red, and her eyes were full of distress and nervousness.
"It's fine, just a little bruising."
Qi Muyuan rubbed her head and sighed helplessly.
The emperor brought the imperial physician to see him in person, his face was cold, and his voice was angry, "What's going on?" But someone deliberately wants to hurt Aiqing? ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked the Imperial Doctor to check his pulse.
Qi Muyuan saluted the emperor before he said slowly: "The minister doesn't know what is going on, but when he was hunting, an arrow suddenly came, and although the minister dodged, he was still bruised. ”
"It's bold to assassinate while hunting."
The emperor said coldly, and his face was even darker than water.
Even if he is a little jealous of Qi Muyuan now, being injured at this moment is also hurting the royal face.
"Check, go check immediately, I want to see who dares to commit murder under my nose."
The ministers naturally said yes.
With the Assassins, many of the people who had hunted in the woods returned in fear, with only a few princes still struggling in the woods.
After Qi Muyuan's bazaar, there was no major problem, and there was no poisoning, he wanted to go in and continue, but he was stopped by Ye Ying.
"Don't go, what if the assassin is specifically targeting you, I don't want to take the risk."
She held Qi Muyuan's arm tightly, her little face was tense, and her eyes were stubbornly glued to Qi Muyuan's body.
Qi Muyuan sighed helplessly, and before he could say anything, he heard a cool sound next to him.
"Brother, how is his own health, he naturally knows, sister, what are you doing with such a fuss, hindering your brother from taking the lead, can you afford it?"
"Does it matter if the winner has a life?"
Ye Ying replied to her unhappily, her eyes still following Qi Muyuan.
With such a look, she taught Qi Muyuan how to refuse.
With a low chuckle, he touched Ye Ying's head and said, "Okay, it's up to you, don't worry about it, it's nothing, it's just a bruise." ”
"Abrasions are also injuries."
Ye Ying retorted in a low voice, but the look in her eyes was relaxed.
Qi Qiao'er on the side looked at them like this, and felt that it was extremely eye-catching, so she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet and left.
Ye Ying didn't pay attention to her, anyway, today's goal has been achieved, and she can go wherever she likes.
Pulling the pastry plate forward, Ye Ying smiled and said to Qi Muyuan: "You ate lunch in a hurry in the forest, you must not have eaten enough, eat some more." ”
"Okay."
Qi Muyuan smiled gently, obediently picked up a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth.
Not far away, Qi Qiao'er saw all these in her eyes, and the viciousness in her eyes was even stronger.
One day, she will hold her cousin and coax him to let him kill this slut.
