Chapter 109: Attracting Wolves
In the hunting ground where the concubine, the prince, the prince and a number of noble princes and others settled, there were several guards inside and outside, and even these subordinates who came over were registered one by one, and in such cases, they could still be mixed in and taken away quietly. The two glanced at each other, and their hearts sank, this is definitely not something that those women with crooked eyes can do.
At this time, on the side of the banquet, the orchid brought by Zheng Guogong was stepping on the high-pitched and enthusiastic tune, waving poison and dancing a cheerful Hu Xuan dance in a brightly colored skirt.
But just when everyone's emotions were at their highest, someone suddenly noticed that someone seemed to be mobilizing the guards around the tent outside, and after a while, there was a commotion in the guards brought by the various prefectures. At the banquet, there were people who noticed this situation, and immediately whispered to the people next to them, and for a while everyone didn't know what was going on, so they were busy asking people to inquire, and Concubine An Yuan, who was talking to the lady of the Guogong Mansion, also noticed that the atmosphere around her was not right, she turned her face and looked around, and found that Shangguan Yu had not returned since he had just left the table. Looking at the obviously wrong situation on the outside, her heart moved, that is, she asked people to see what was going on, and hurried to find the prince.
The first group of private guards had already gone out, Shangguan Yu looked at the deep night in the distance with a cold face, the hand under the arrow sleeve was already clenched into a fist, the old wound on his chest began to burn again, and the teacher's words before his death sounded in his heart again: If you meet that child one day, take care of her as a teacher, and be ashamed of her for the rest of your life......
"Since the Yue City Lord of White Moon City has sent a message for Lu'er to go back, he will not pick this time to do it. And my uncle's target is me, it's useless to arrest her, but my uncle has long been in collusion with Bai Su, and it is possible for anyone on either side of them. Meng San said this, frowned, and continued: "Bai Su will not want the daughter of the Mei Hall Lord to go back to Baiyue City, at least until he gets the token of Baiyue City, he does not want Lu'er to go back, and the token is definitely not on Lu'er at present, so in this way, the girl is not in danger for the time being." ”
"What is a token?" Shangguan Yu had already strode to the side, and was about to go to Concubine Anyuan to say something, when he heard Meng San's words, he turned his head and asked.
"I don't know, I've never seen it, the girl can't think of anything now, and I guess she doesn't know either." Meng San shook his head, and as he spoke, he had already turned around and left, looking for the cronies of the two fathers who came to look for him today, but he had only walked two steps, and suddenly heard a frightened cry from behind: "There are wolves!" There are wolves! ”
Meng San was stunned, Shangguan Yu frowned, looked over there, and saw a guard in charge of the periphery running in, shouting that there were wolves.
As soon as the nobles, who were already a little suspicious, heard this, combined with the guards who were being mobilized at the moment, they immediately got up and left their seats, and the orchid who was dancing also stopped their spinning steps, and looked at the pale guard in puzzlement, and the sons who were hooking up with the dancers also stopped, and looked at them suspiciously.
After a while, two more guards walked in carrying a dying guard with half of his body stained with blood, this was a wild wolf who had gone far away to relieve his hands, but was attacked by the wild wolf who had driven the battle, and if his companions had not found it early and carried a torch over, he would have been torn apart and dragged away by the wild wolf.
At this moment, the crowd burst into chaos, but in this chaotic atmosphere, some people panicked, some doubted, some scared, and some excited.
The originally lively and boiling scene suddenly cooled down, and the wilderness of the autumn night suddenly blew wind, blowing from the north, bringing a faint smell of fish.
Meng San had already seen the shadowy black shadow in the distance, his face changed, and he hurriedly walked to Shangguan Yu's side and said: "It's not good, this is Bai Su's handiwork, there are indeed wolves on Wuqi Mountain, but they are basically active in the north of the mountain, and rarely come to the south." But there is a kind of wolf incense in Baiyue City, which can not only lead the wolves, but also make the wild wolves appear manic even if they are not hungry, but Baiyue City has respect for all beasts that act at night. ”
There are such nobles here in the hunting ground, who dares to transfer a large number of guards away at the moment, this action is obviously the footsteps of Lin dragging Shangguan Yu and others, and if they can't send a large number of guards to search, there is no way to recover Tang Lu'er, as long as it is dragged until dawn, it is enough for them to take Tang Lu'er away from Xingqi Island, and when the sea and sky are wide, Shangguan Yu and others want to chase it, it will be even more difficult.
The reason why there are few people on Xingqi Island is because this island is almost occupied by a Wuqi Mountain, and no one can tell how many wild wolves there are on that mountain.
Shangguan Yu walked to Concubine An Yuan's side, and another guard stumbled in front of him and said, "Come on, here, many, many ......"
It was only when they ran to the periphery to take a look, looking at the black shadows that were getting closer and closer, and looking at the pair of green eyes that flickered together in the night, and the green eyes that were so bright that they were numb, that they suddenly came to their senses, and then they retreated again and again with a white face, and muttered in their mouths: "Really, it's really a wolf pack, why are there so many ......?"
In the dark night, I couldn't see how many wolves were approaching and getting closer, and when I looked at it, I only felt that there were no less than a hundred.
"Calm down, there is a fire burning here, the wolves will not rush over immediately, all the guards take their bows and arrows, the torches are lit, and they must not let go for a moment!"
Shangguan Yu drank a sentence, and then said to Concubine An Yuan: "Grandmother, you go back to the tent to rest, don't worry, it'll be fine." ”
Concubine An Yuan did not see panic on her face, but there was still a little uneasiness in her eyes, the lone wolf was not afraid, the wolves were the most terrifying, if there were many of them, the guards on this side of the tent at the moment would not be enough to stop it at all.
After the women, children and the elderly all entered the tent, Zhao Li also said to Shangguan Yu: "The prince also enters the tent to rest, the subordinates have just taken a closer look, and the wolves are more than fifty, so there is nothing to be afraid of." ”
Shangguan Yu stopped outside the firelight with a calm face, looked at the wolves here coldly, and then asked, "Has the private guard brought by Zhao Yun returned?" ”
"No, the way to the docks is not blocked by wolves." Zhao Li shook his head, and then said, "Lord Wang, the second group of guards ......" Originally, the first team ran directly to the dock, and notified the government to control the dock, and then the second team went all the way to investigate the past, but they didn't want the wolves to suddenly appear before the second group was dispatched.
Fifty or sixty wolves, and on the tent side, including the private guards brought by King An Yuan, there are only fifty-three in total, and eight squads have just been dispatched, and the remaining forty-five guards are less than ten, and if those dozens of wolves really go berserk, I really can't say what will happen, let alone whether there will be new wolves in a while.
Zheng Guogong and Pingyang Marquis and others walked out of the tent, Shangguan Yu squinted, and immediately ordered Zhao Li to pick a few skilled people, ride fast horses back to the house, and transfer some of the guards over, and take this opportunity to let people search every room on the other side of the house, as long as there is any situation, send a signal.
The wolves were agitated, but because of the brilliant fire, they did not come forward, and it was the first time that the guards faced such a situation, and several of them were so nervous that their faces turned pale, and the bows and arrows in their hands were trembling.
"Stay here, and I'll go with them back to the house." If you can't find it, go straight to the pier. Meng San asked him to set a horse for himself, and then said to Shangguan Yu, "The time to induce the wolf incense is at most two hours, as long as the wolves do not move, you ask those guards not to release arrows, otherwise it will anger the wolf nature, and they will not even be afraid of fire." ”
It was already the middle of the night, and even if you rode a fast horse from the hunting ground to the docks, it was almost dawn.
The other party seems to be a procrastination plan, but he is afraid that it is actually a move away from the mountain, which is the most difficult to understand.
After seeing Meng San's figure on horseback disappearing into the thick of the night, Shangguan Yu's heart gradually calmed down, and he stood in the inner enclosure with his hands in his hands, looking coldly at the wolves not far away, but there was a thoughtful expression on his face.
……
Tang Lu'er woke up from the darkness, opened her eyes, and saw that it was still dark.
Her mind was a little chaotic, and it took her a while to remember what had just happened, and her heart was beating wildly, and then she noticed that her hands and feet were trapped, and she was lying flat now, and she didn't know where she was, it was dark in front of her, and she couldn't see anything. After a while, she felt that the place was so narrow that she couldn't even turn over slightly, her mouth was gagged, and her body was soft, and she didn't even have the strength to make a sound in her throat. It was also difficult to breathe, and after trying to move a few times, I suddenly felt that I was so deprived of oxygen that I was almost out of breath.
After Meng San returned to the house, while the guards were dispatching people, he followed several other private guards of the palace to search for lone wolves, and entered the footholds of each mansion in a bright light, and looked for them one by one.
Just when Tang Lu'er was so stuffy that she was about to faint, she suddenly heard a faint sound, like footsteps, and like the sound of people talking, in this narrow place where only one person was allowed to live and there was no light, suddenly woke up, and then listened to the voice, which made people unable to tell whether it was friend or foe, whether to save her or kill her, Tang Luer only felt that she was so nervous that she was sweating all over her body.
