Chapter 110: Assassin in the Woods
The emperor was concentrating on finding the traces of wild goats in the forest, while the emperor Shao Chen behind him looked around, not knowing whether he was looking for prey or people.
"Rustling ......"
Suddenly, there was a strange sound in the grass not far from the two of them, and the emperor Shao Chen turned his head sideways, and there seemed to be wind and grass in the grass ten zhang away from them, and he held his breath and stared at the haystack.
A black shadow quickly passed through the grass, and the imperial father Shao Chen was so nervous that his heart jumped to his throat, he was ready to block the knife for his father.
The Emperor turned around sharply, and he took out an arrow from the quiver he was carrying behind him, and with a flowing motion, the bow was wound, and he drew his bow at the black shadow in the grass.
"Whew-"
The next moment, there was a whimper of animals in the grass.
Emperor Shao Chen was slightly stunned, how could this scene be different from what he imagined, according to the arrangement of his mother, he had to take his father to this forest far away from the camp in advance, and then they walked to the red dot on the map.
When the Assassin came out of the woods to assassinate his father, he only had to block the knife for his father, pretending to be seriously injured in order to save him, so that his father would be impressed with him, and his plan would succeed.
But why didn't the Assassins do it yet?
Huangfu Yingming stepped forward with joy, a little elk fell to the ground and kept twitching, he bent down and lifted the prey that he had just shot, turned back to Huangfu Shao Chen and smiled: "Shao Chen, I didn't see the wild goat you said, I hunted an elk, so it's okay!" ”
"Oh......" Huangfu Shao Chen was stunned in place, even what Huangfu Yingming said was in and out of his left ear, just nodded slightly, thinking in his heart, when did the assassin appear?
At this time, the sun rose in the east, melting the mist that filled the mountains, and the sun spilled into the forest.
"Huh-" A sharp arrow shot from the depths of the forest, straight into the back of the imperial master Shao Chen.
"Ahh
Before Huangfu Yingming came back to his senses, Huangfu Shao Chen's body fell heavily in front of him.
"It hurts...... Hurt ......" The sudden pain made Huangfu Shao Chen's face turn pale instantly, his facial features were distorted in pain, he bit his lip tightly, his left shoulder bone seemed to have been pierced by a sharp arrow, blood gushed out, and his clothes were instantly stained red by blood.
"Shao Chen!" Huangfu Yingming hurriedly threw away the elk in his hand and helped Huangfu Shao Yan up, and this sharp arrow shot straight into Huangfu Shao Chen's shoulder, so painful that he couldn't even speak.
"Father...... I hurt ...... It hurts...... "Why does it hurt so much, the mother lied to him......
Emperor Shao Chen couldn't bear the pain of cracking his bones, his vision gradually blurred, and his eyes were dark, and he fainted.
"Shao Chen! Shao Chen! Huangfu Yingming kept calling the name of the emperor, but Huangfu Shao Chen had already passed out, and the blood on his shoulder had stained Huangfu Yingming's big palm, looking at the shocking blood in the palm of his hand, Huangfu Yingming was panicked, for fear that he would lose this son.
……
Half an hour later
I was happily going out to hunt in the autumn, but I didn't expect to meet assassins in the mountains and forests, the eldest prince and the fourth prince were wounded by arrows, and the imperial doctor was treating the princes in the tent of the camp.
Huangfu Yingming paced back and forth in front of the tent, he was restless, for fear that the two emperors would have three long and two short.
Hu Yanzhen cried bitterly outside the tent, her baby emperor had never been so seriously injured since he was a child, and when he was brought back, his clothes were stained with a lot of blood, and the blood stains made her tremble, for fear that the emperor's life Shao Yan would be in danger.
Luo Liqing didn't cry like Hu Yanzhen, she looked anxious, her heart was uneasy, the assassin in the forest should have been found by her, she obviously said that she was using a dagger to pretend to be an assassin to assassinate Huangfu Yingming, but now how did it become a bow and arrow?
When Huangfu Shao Chen was carried out of the forest by Huangfu Yingming, a lot of blood flowed from the wound, and now that Huangfu Shao Chen is unconscious, Luo Liqing can't help but wonder if the person who shot Shao Chen in the forest was an assassin arranged by himself, or someone else?
Dugu Shaobai walked out of the woods, they were followed by two guards, the guards were carrying a stretcher in front and back, on this stretcher was lying a black-clothed male corpse, on the chest of the male corpse, there was a sharp arrow straight into the chest, there were dried blood stains around, this person should have been killed by a sharp arrow through the heart.
The two guards put the male corpse on the ground, and Dugu Shaobai said to the emperor wisely: "Your Majesty, the minister found a male corpse in the woods where the fourth prince was injured, this male corpse has been dead for more than three hours, and it should not be an assassin who shot and injured the eldest prince and the fourth prince." ”
Huangfu Shao Yan and Huangfu Shao Chen had been injured for only an hour, and the man in black had been dead for three hours, presumably, there were other assassins hiding in this forest.
Huangfu Yingming's face was calm, he frowned, squatted down to look at the corpse, the sharp arrow inserted in the heart of this corpse was the same as the arrow that injured the emperors, such arrows are very common in the Celestial Empire, and it is impossible to judge who injured the two princes from the appearance of the arrows.
Why are there assassins in the woods? This autumn hunting trip was handled by the city lord of Jiangnan City, and now there are bold assassins hiding in the forest, which is really Jiang Jianbai's disadvantage and mistakes.
Huangfu Yingming was upset at this time, and he said angrily: "Jiang City Lord! Why are there assassins in Qingcheng Mountain?! ”
Jiang Jianbai was suddenly frightened by the emperor's roar, he hurriedly knelt in front of the emperor's wise body and kowtowed a few times, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty! The minister had already arranged for the guards to search all parts of Qingcheng Mountain three days ago, and did not find any suspicious people hiding in the forest, Wechen dared to beg the emperor for a few days, so that Wechen could find the assassin who hurt the eldest prince and the fourth prince as soon as possible! ”
The always gentle emperor Fu Yingming yelled at his courtiers in front of the ministers for the first time, and the surroundings were silent for an instant, and the courtiers hung their heads one after another, not daring to say more, for fear of angering the emperor who was angry.
At this time, Imperial Physician Zhou came out of the tent, and he arched his hand to the emperor and the two maidens: "Emperor Qiqi, Concubine Zhen, Concubine Li, His Royal Highness the eldest prince was seriously injured, fortunately the bleeding was stopped in time, fortunately there was no worry about his life, but the fourth prince not only injured his muscles and bones, but also lost too much blood...... I'm afraid ......"
Imperial Physician Zhou wanted to speak and stopped, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
Imperial Physician Zhou's words were like five thunderbolts, and Luo Liqing's tears poured out like a flood that broke the embankment, and she screamed heartbreakingly: "Shao Chen! ”
Luo Liqing ran into the tent and looked at Shao Chen, the emperor's pale face with his eyes closed on the bed, she was heartbroken.
"Shao Chen! Shao Chen! Luo Liqing shouted the name of Emperor Shao Chen heartbreakingly, she squatted on the side of the bed and kept shaking his body, but no matter how Luo Liqing cried, Emperor Shao Chen did not respond.
Hu Yanzhen also followed into the tent, and when she heard that her emperor was not worried about her life, her hanging heart finally fell, and she was immediately relieved.
She sat on the edge of Huangfu Shao Yan's bed and gently held his hand, took the opportunity to look at Huangfu Shao Chen on the side, looking at his lifeless appearance, Hu Yanzhen was secretly happy in her heart, she couldn't wait for this little smash to go to see Hades immediately!
Huangfu Yingming, who was standing outside the tent, listened to Luo Liqing's cry, his eyes were red in an instant, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and his heart seemed to be pressed against a heavy boulder, which made it extremely difficult for him to even breathe.
"Imperial Doctor Zhou, Shao Chenke still has a way to treat him?"
Imperial Physician Zhou replied: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that he should return to the palace as soon as possible and use the elixir in the palace to heal the four princes, and there may be a glimmer of life." ”
Huangfu nodded wisely and said in a loud voice: "Drive back to the palace!" ”
Leng Fengjie stepped forward and volunteered: "Your Majesty, it will take a few hours from Qingcheng Mountain to the imperial capital at the earliest, if the emperor does not dislike the medical skills of his ministers, he can bring the eldest prince and the fourth prince to the White Tiger Hall for treatment, from Qingcheng Mountain to the White Tiger Hall, it will take less than half an hour." ”
Hearing that the cold wind could definitely save his emperor, Huangfu Yingming wanted to nod his head without hesitation, "Okay, drive to the White Tiger Hall!" ”
The words fell, the corners of Leng Feng's mouth hooked slightly, the plan succeeded, and then it was time for him to make meritorious contributions in front of the emperor.
"Shaobai, Hongyi, Yutang, this king went to the White Tiger Hall with the emperor and the princes, and you led the guards to stay in Qingcheng Mountain to search for the whereabouts of the assassin." Emperor Fu Shenwu thought to himself, this matter is full of suspicions, the two princes were stabbed in the shoulder, if the assassin really wanted to kill them, he could kill them with one arrow. The Assassin probably didn't want the prince's life, but just wanted them to be injured.
And the black-clothed corpse on the ground, who is it?
The three Dharma Protectors said in unison: "Yes!" ”
"Wait." The cold wind sounded in a lazy voice, he glanced at Huangfu Shenwu, and then his gaze fell on Shangguan Yutang.
"Mu Protector, when the eldest prince was injured, you were by his side, why are you safe and sound, but the eldest prince is seriously injured?"
As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Yutang's heart trembled slightly, this cold wind was clearly aimed at the Protector Villa, presumably he would make a big fuss about his inability to save people.
When Hu Yanzhen heard this, she was also furious in an instant, Shangguan Yutang and Shao Yan were together at that time, why didn't she save people?
Hu Yanzhen walked out of the camp with a fierce attitude, her angry eyes approached Shangguan Yutang, and her tone was aggressive: "Yes, why didn't you save people at that time?" Could it be that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, so you escaped from the battle? ”
Hu Yanzhen spoke with suspicion, as if she was sure that Shangguan Yutang was about to escape.
Huangfu Hongyi's cold voice sounded: "Concubine Zhen, you were not present at the time of the incident, how do you know that Yutang abandoned the prince?" Huangfu Hongyi looked at Hu Yanzhen expressionlessly, the cold light in his eyes made Hu Yanzhen shiver involuntarily, she didn't dare to provoke Huangfu Hongyi, so she had to look aside and ask Xu Fu: "Xu Fu, what's going on?" Why is Shao Yan injured, but you and Mu Protector are safe and sound? ”
