Chapter 460: Shocking Horse
Princess Nansheng's injuries were not serious, and the imperial doctor ordered her to lie in bed for a few days after bandaging them.
After the incident, Emperor Yongchang's first reaction was to return to the court, and then after King Sheng's suggestion, the "enemy situation" was investigated clearly before deciding on the next step, thinking about the distance between the hunting ground and the palace, Emperor Yongchang felt that Uncle Sheng was thoughtful. From morning to night, the forbidden army passed by from time to time outside the tent, sometimes neatly and neatly side by side, sometimes trotting hurriedly, and the footsteps were a little messy.
Two days later, the forbidden army found two female corpses in the valley at the back of Tiezha Mountain, and after identification, they were the two missing palace maids. As a result, the matter came to the surface, and the two palace maids were taken away while they were unprepared, and then, the two big clansmen disguised themselves as palace maids and mixed in the crowd to act, and their target was obvious, Princess Nansheng.
The reason for this is naturally because Xiliang subdued the Da clan, and some people in the Da clan were not convinced, so they took the opportunity to kill Princess Nansheng and retaliate against Xiliang.
Zhou Hexi's thoughts are very different from this conclusion, first of all, the other party's target is her and not Princess Nansheng, and secondly, if she is a hateful big clan, she will definitely hide in Xiliang and seek revenge, and she will never be stupid enough to come to Da Zhou all the way to assassinate a princess.
From the overall situation, what substantial impact will the death of a princess have on Xiliang?
Therefore, Zhou Hexi felt that things were not so simple.
Emperor Yongchang had a headache, the guards of the Dragon Court were already so strict, and they were actually taken advantage of by people unknowingly...... Just thinking about it makes people break out in a cold sweat.
At this time, he completely lost interest in hunting, and just wanted to wait for Princess Nansheng to move and return to the palace as soon as possible.
Originally, he could not have taken into account the feelings of a princess of a vassal country, at least, he could be one step ahead. But who knows, the next day, a group of Xiliang soldiers suddenly came to meet them, claiming that they were all the personal guards of Xiliangfu Wang Fusang, and personally came to Zhou to pick up their princess back to China.
After the identity was verified, Emperor Yongchang was again a big head, especially when he saw the appearance of those guards who were anxious to turn around when they saw the injured Princess Nansheng, he searched his intestines and prepared to speak, but he didn't want the other party to ask in detail, but he was grateful for Emperor Yongchang's protection.
Three more days passed.
In the past five days, Zhou Hexi has undoubtedly been the most tormented, on the night of the assassination, Xiao Yu said goodbye to him in a hurry, and there was no trace again. She had the heart to inquire, but Li Ren refused to leave her half a step, and Onyx went on two trips and didn't hear anything.
I learned from my father that Xiao Yu was very likely to have left Tiezha Mountain, but as for where he went and why he left suddenly, he was still confused.
"County Lord, Princess Nansheng sent someone to invite you to a gathering at the horse training ground, saying that Concubine Su and other palace ladies are also there."
Onyx immediately opened the tent, took the invitation in Li Ren's hand and threw it on the ground, and said angrily: "Let's just say that the county lord is not feeling well and is lying down." ”
"Go ahead. Those who should come must come, and they can't escape the fifteenth year of the first year. Zhou Hexi picked up the post and flicked the dust on it, "Besides, the concubine and the lady are all appreciative, how can I hold it up?" ”
After cleaning up a little, Zhou Hexi took Onyx and Li Ren to the horse training ground.
Su Guifei smiled and was a good person for Princess Nansheng, saying that the princess would return to Xiliang in a few days, and she was reluctant to give up on Da Zhou, especially her aunt and cousin, who didn't know when she would be able to see her again, in order to express her reluctance, she decided to personally teach Su Guifei and others to ride horses, which naturally included Zhou Hexi.
Zhou Hexi shook his head again and again, saying that he didn't want to ride a horse, and Concubine Su Guifei rode on a tall horse and said excitedly: "The county lord will try it, it's almost moldy when you are stuffed in the tent every day, and moving your muscles and bones is good for your body." ”
"Yes......" Chen Guifei echoed, "Look at Princess Nansheng, she can move freely after only lying in bed for five days, which shows the benefits of strengthening your body on weekdays." ”
Everyone, you and I will drive the ducks to the shelves, Zhou Hexi can't shirk it, so he has to get on the horse.
It's really strange, she just went up and didn't sit down, the horse went crazy and spun in place, Li Ren quickly went to pull the reins, didn't want to pounce, the crazy horse had already begun to gallop......
In the exclamations of everyone, Li Ren and Onyx rode horses one after the other to chase, but Zhou Hexi's horse was really a good horse, and the speed was extremely fast, and it didn't take long for Li Ren and Onyx's horses to be powerless, and the agate whips were broken, but they saw that the master was getting farther and farther away from him......
Li Ren immediately signaled to the sky.
……
In addition to the initial fright, Zhou Hexi had calmed down and tried her best to control the stimulated horse, when Li Ren and Onyx were nowhere to be seen, she gradually controlled the horse, and before she could turn around, suddenly a piercing whistle came, and the horse that had just been emotionally stable became agitated again......
At this moment, a masked killer flew from each of the four directions, dressed in white, with a white veil on their faces, and swords in their hands, flying in unison......
Zhou Hexi: "......"
That's a face-saving deal!
Just to kill her, not to mention so many moths, this time I actually used four killers, is this because I am afraid that she will fly away from the sky with wings?
The fierce horse is still turning in circles regardless of the place, no matter how Zhou Hexi controls it, it doesn't listen to the instructions at all as if it is crazy, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Hexi automatically fell off the horse, and rolled twice, although the bones hurt when he fell just now, fortunately, he was not trampled by the horse's hooves, and he still had a breath for the time being.
"Heroes, before He Xi died, could you tell who you were serving?"
"In this way, when I close my eyes, I can know who to turn to for my dreams."
However, most of these murderers knew that "the stupid man died of talking too much", and no one paid attention to her, and after landing, Qi Qi ran towards Zhou Hexi with a long sword.
"You really don't have to run so fast, I hurt my leg, my foot twisted, I run......"
Before she could finish speaking, the killers had already come to her and raised their swords in unison, without the slightest delay.
Zhou Hexi closed his eyes reflexively, but he didn't wait for the moment of death......
"Plop" "Plop" ...... With four sounds, the killer fell to the ground, and everyone had an arrow stuck in their backs, which was thrust into the killings.
Zhou Hexi: "......"
She's still alive, isn't she?
"Li Ren, you came in time." A little later, she'll have to explain it here.
"This place is not to stay long." Li Ren picked up Zhou Hexi on his back, escorted back to the camp by agate and secret guards, and just walked a short distance, only to hear the sound of "da-da" horses' hooves, it was Princess Nansheng and her escort.
"Cousin Hexi, how are you, injured...... Kill! ”
said that it was too late, and those people were tall and big, and the guards with long swords suddenly made full use of their "horsepower" to fight with Onyx and others.
Zhou Hexi: "......"
