Chapter 31: Arrows in the Woods
Bai Heng and Li Zhu'er were also in the forest at this time.
The two rode on the same horse, and Li Zhu'er held a bow and arrow in her hand, excitedly shouting to hunt more prey and go back.
They walked slowly in the forest for a while, and found a few rabbits in the distance, and Li Zhu'er missed them.
She turned sideways and squeezed at Bai Heng, who smiled and touched her head to comfort her.
Just as he was about to drive the horse on, suddenly there was a sound of breaking the sky in the distance, and a sharp arrow shot at Li Zhu'er from the diagonal front!
Bai Heng reacted quickly, hugged Li Zhu'er tightly with one hand, and instantly pulled out the saber at his waist with the other hand and swung it violently, which was able to knock the sharp arrow down in front of his face.
"What people!" The guards immediately formed a circle and stood on guard.
"Are you alright?" Bai Heng grabbed the reins of the frightened horse with one hand, and asked Li Zhu'er with his head down.
"It's fine." Li Zhu'er shook her head in shock.
The two dismounted, escorted by the guards.
It didn't take long for the culprit to appear in front of everyone.
"Oh, third brother! Didn't get hurt, did you? ”
It was Princess Yuquan who came in a sedan chair.
"Second sister?" Bai Heng was also a little surprised.
"I'm really sorry for the third brother, I want to shoot a rabbit. I was aiming, but somehow I shot at you. Princess Yuquan looked apologetic.
Li Zhuer remembered that Tong De had said rumors about Princess Yuquan's "clever" archery.
"Almost hurt." Bai Heng was somewhat dissatisfied, "The second sister is too reckless. There can be people everywhere in the forest, what if something happens? ”
"If anyone who comes to participate in the autumn hunt can't even dodge my arrows, then blame him for his lack of ability." Princess Yuquan said disapprovingly.
Bai Heng has always had nothing to do with this domineering imperial sister.
Seeing that Bai Heng no longer spoke, Princess Yuquan felt that the matter had been revealed, and began to complain to herself: "Alas, the rabbit is too difficult to shoot, and the little one is running too fast and jumping around." What are you doing? ”
After asking, she looked at Bai Heng's group of people, and answered with a smile: "Oh, I didn't hit anything." ”
"Rabbits are just hard to fight." Li Zhu'er felt very sympathetic to Princess Yuquan's strange logic, and couldn't help but echo.
Feeling very satisfied, Princess Yuquan continued, "Then why don't we go and find some other prey together?" What about the bigger ones, wild boars? ”
"It's too dangerous." Bai Heng frowned, "I have to go deep into the hinterland of the forest." ”
"There are so many of us, what's so scary? Besides, don't you have a third brother? Princess Yuquan said and winked at Li Zhu'er, "You don't know yet, do you?" When the third brother was ten years old, he killed a bear alone and saved his father. ”
Li Zhu'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was looking at Bai Heng adoringly, but Bai Heng's face immediately became ugly.
"That bear was already injured, and besides, my father didn't need me to save him." Bai Heng said coldly.
"Why are you still angry?" Princess Yuquan pouted and turned to Li Zhu'er, "Brother and sister, don't you want to go to the depths of the forest to have a look?" ”
"I'm ......" Li Zhu'er wanted to go, but looking at Bai Heng's angry face, she still shook her head, "I listen to Ah Heng." ”
"Tsk."
Princess Yuquan looked disappointed, but looking at Bai Heng's appearance, she knew that she couldn't convince him, so she changed her mind and continued: "Then let's go a little deeper, try our luck casually, and hit the deer, it's okay, right?" ”
Li Zhu'er really didn't want to fight the rabbit, so she also looked at Bai Heng expectantly.
"Okay." Bai Heng compromised.
