Chapter 221: Wolf Attack
After resting in the camp tent for a day, Xing Tianqi took the minister to the hunting place early and started hunting.
Xing Tianrui is not good at literature, but he is very keen on martial arts, so he is very excited every time he hunts, and when he saw Lan Tingxuan, he had already forgotten the failed chess game on the dragon bowl.
"Imperial Doctor Lan, go, go hunting with us." Xing Tianrui said enthusiastically to Lan Tingxuan, who was standing behind Xing Tianqi.
"Lord Wang, the minister is just a doctor, and he doesn't know how to hunt." Lan Tingxuan hurriedly refused, he was even sloppy on horseback, how could he hunt.
"Yes, yes, you're just a civil servant." Xing Tianrui said suddenly, he originally wanted to compete with him, but now he can only find someone else.
"I thought that Imperial Doctor Lan was a civil and military all-rounder, but it turns out that there are things that can't be used." Feng Kun, who was not far away, said in a strange manner, although his voice was not loud, he was still heard by many people, including Xing Tianqi who was standing at the front.
He glared back at Feng Kun unhappily, he was so rude in front of the prince of Huadu Kingdom, it seemed that he didn't want to marry Princess Lexi.
Feng Kun was frightened by Xing Tianqi's glare, and hurriedly closed his mouth and lowered his head to look away, because of Princess Lexi's affairs, the emperor has become more and more unkind to him, this time it is estimated that he is even more bored, thinking of this, his intestines are repentant, he really shouldn't be quick to speak.
Princess Lexi looked at Feng Kun, and then at Lan Tingxuan, who was silent on the side, and felt more and more that Feng Kun was incompetent, compared to him, it was a long way off.
She looked at Lan Tingxuan blankly, she didn't notice that the prince of Huadu Kingdom on the side saw all this, he was sure that his sister liked the gentle temperament of Imperial Doctor Lan, but why did she marry Feng Kun? There must be something in this that he doesn't know.
Under the leadership of the emperor, a large number of people went hunting, only a few people stayed where they were and waited for their return, even Qin Mingyuan, a civil official, went hunting.
Lan Tingxuan was not familiar with these people who stayed behind, so he stood alone in the corner and didn't communicate with anyone at all.
However, even if he wanted to chat with someone, no one paid attention to him, and Princess Wenhui, who could chat with him for a few words, was surrounded by a group of women, and there was no way to come over.
"Hey, you, tell me what about you." Just as he was about to go to the neighborhood to look for herbs, he suddenly heard the woman's call, he looked back, and found that it was a woman in a pink dress, and saw that she was staring at him coldly, and he was puzzled, he didn't seem to know her.
"Look at what, that is, you, come over to me quickly." The woman glared at him in an unkind tone, obviously knowing him.
Lan Tingxuan looked at the woman carefully, and the more she looked at it, the more familiar she felt, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while.
As he slowly approached the woman, his head flashed, and he suddenly remembered where he had seen her, she was the same woman who had snatched the plum hairpin in the jewelry store last time.
"Girl." He stood five paces away from the woman, and smiled gently, he really didn't expect to see her here, it seems that her identity is very unusual.
"I really didn't expect you to be Lan Tingxuan." The woman looked him up and down, with disdain in her eyes.
Lan Tingxuan lowered his head silently, since her identity was not ordinary, she couldn't have an argument with her, otherwise it would only be him who was unlucky.
"Wan Ting, do you know Imperial Doctor Lan?" Princess Wenhui saw that the woman seemed to want to make things difficult for him, so she hurriedly spoke out to relieve the siege, this Huanting county lord's temper was unbearable for anyone.
"I saw him last time in the jewelry store." The county lord of Huanting explained vaguely, she didn't dare to say that she would only know her by robbing the jewelry he fancied, otherwise she would be lectured by the Queen Mother again.
"Really?" Princess Wenhui glanced at her deeply with a smile, according to her personality, something else must have happened here, but there are too many people here, and there is no way to ask for details, so I can only let her go first.
With Princess Wenhui here, the county lord of Wanting couldn't embarrass Lan Tingxuan, so he could only leave Shi Shiran, planning to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson next time.
Lan Tingxuan looked at the angry county lord with an angry face inexplicably, obviously he didn't offend her, why was he targeted? It was her fault last time, and it had nothing to do with him, so why blame him for the mistake?
After thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that she was an unreasonable person, and in order to get peace for herself, it was better to stay away from her.
Three hours later, Xing Tianqi came back with the ministers, and everyone harvested a lot of prey, even Feng Kun, who was useless, actually hunted a lot of animals.
"Princess, this is for you." As soon as Feng Kun came back, he dedicated all the prey he had hunted to Princess Lexi.
Princess Lexi didn't speak, just pulled the corners of her mouth far-fetched, and gave him a very fake smile, so many people looked at it, and it was not okay to ignore him.
"Lord Feng has a heart." Seeing her reluctance, the prince of Huadu Kingdom smiled and accepted these prey for her.
Xing Tianqi saw that Princess Lexi's eyes always looked at Lan Tingxuan intentionally or unintentionally, and sighed helplessly, she looked like this, and the intelligent prince of Huadu Kingdom would definitely be able to see the clues.
After hunting for so long, everyone was tired, so Xing Tianqi asked everyone to go down to rest, and then went back to the dragon tent to rest.
Today is the first day of hunting, and everyone is in a state of excitement, even the ladies who came with them are excited to see so many prey, chatting together.
Lan Tingxuan had nothing to do, so he returned to his tent to rest, and at the same time he was puzzled, not understanding what Xing Tianqi had asked him to do.
Originally, I thought that he had come to help take care of those princes and ministers who were accidentally injured, but just now Xing Tianqi asked other imperial doctors to diagnose and treat those who were injured, but let him stay, such a move not only made him puzzled, but also made others very puzzled.
Although he didn't understand Xing Tianqi's intentions, he still stayed here honestly, waiting for the emperor's dispatch.
Before you know it, as night falls, the emperor has a bonfire set up outside, intending to make a barbecue of the hunted food, and then distribute it to everyone to reward them for their hard work.
Although Lan Tingxuan didn't do anything, he was still rewarded with them, and while eating the barbecue, he always felt that a sharp eye was staring at him.
He raised his head and looked around, but he didn't notice anything unusual, so he could only frown and bow his head and continue to eat the barbecue.
The palace ministers chatted and watched the singers' performances, and the atmosphere was lively, and everyone drank with their hearts open.
"Your Majesty, it's not good." At this moment, an adjutant general suddenly ran over in a panic.
"What's wrong?" Xing Tianqi looked at the deputy general with displeasure, and his good interest was interrupted by him like this.
"Emperor Qi, for some reason, a large group of wolves suddenly appeared, and many soldiers have been bitten." Thinking of the scene he had just seen, the lieutenant general trembled with fright.
"Wolves? How is this possible? The whole mountain has been treated, and there can be no wolves. Xing Tianqi frowned, there were no more dangerous beasts in the mountains and forests, how could there be so many wolves for no reason? And more importantly, why didn't they cry? How did you come here quietly and hurt people?
"Whew......" The palace ministers, who didn't believe in wolves, were all startled when they heard the wolf's howl, and then the people began to talk in panic.
"General An, you go and deal with these wolves, and by the way, find out how they entered the hunting grounds." Xingtian Qi commanded in an orderly manner.
"Yes." General An hurriedly took the order to deal with this matter, and at the same time felt very worried in his heart, the matter of the hunting ground was handled by him with full authority, and now that such a thing happened, he was fully responsible.
The wolf's howl became louder and louder, and it seemed to be more and more, which made those palace ministers tremble, knowing that the emperor would be fine here, but they still couldn't stop being afraid.
Soon, the wolf's howl weakened, but it turned into a wail, not only the wolf's wail, but also the pain of people, although it was not really heard from a distance, but it made the people present even more frightened.
Gradually, a strong smell of blood emanated from the air, which made the wolves even more excited, and the howls grew louder and louder, making it feel as if they were nearby.
"Your Majesty." The queen saw that the ladies were starting to be scared and wanted them to go back first, but the emperor was here, so they couldn't leave.
"Take the queen mother and them to the camp first, and for the sake of safety, don't go back to your own camp and stay in a camp." Xing Tianqi understood her intentions and hurriedly ordered.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." The queen originally wanted to accompany him, but she was the mother of a country, and she had to appease those female dependents, so she could only leave with them first.
"Thank you for your grace." After the ladies saluted the emperor, they crowded to the queen mother and queen, as if they were afraid that they would be chased by wolves if they took a step too slow.
And Princess Lexi, who was among the female dependents, looked at Lan Tingxuan with a worried face, knowing that the wolves would not chase here, but she still couldn't stop worrying about him.
Princess Wenhui saw her gaze and quietly pulled her away, although the current scene is a little chaotic, it will still be seen by those who have a heart, which will make Lan Tingxuan, who is already on the cusp, in a more difficult situation.
"Brother Huang, my brother wants to meet those wolves." Xing Tianrui had long been impatient to kill the wolves, but he was worried that he would not agree, so he didn't speak, and now that the queen had spoken, he couldn't bear it anymore.
"The wolves are dangerous, so you might as well stay here." Xing Tianqi looked at him nondetently, with his reckless temperament, it was very likely to cause chaos to General An.
"Brother Huang, the younger brother doesn't want to be protected by the soldiers like a coward, he just wants to accompany them to kill the enemy." Xing Tianrui knew that he would not agree easily, so he could only continue to ask angrily.
"Well, be careful, it's dangerous for the wolves to go berserk." Seeing that he was so resolute, Xing Tianqi could only agree, but he still couldn't help but want to tell him.
"Yes." Xing Tianrui was excited when he received the answer, and took his sword and bow and arrows and went straight to the place where the wolves were screaming the loudest.
Xing Tianqi looked at the direction he left with a thoughtful expression, where did this wolf pack come from? Is it artificial? Or will they come back for revenge because they have robbed the wolves of their territory? This question has to be clarified.
