Not long after the man left, Uncle Zhao walked in after getting an answer from outside the tent, Bao Xi stood up from the window, took a few steps towards Uncle Zhao and stood in the center of the tent, she looked at Uncle Zhao's eyes, waiting for him to speak first, presumably this matter has something to do with the person who left just now.

"Chu Hou is here." Uncle Zhao said.

These words made Bao Xi's heart sink and she asked, "What? ”

"Just now, the Marquis of Chu came on horseback to ask where the king and the others are now? The princes hunted, and the Marquis of Chu was indispensable, so he asked the place to ride his horse to find the king and his party. Uncle Zhao said, but these words made Bao Xi inexplicably uneasy, "The capital where Chu Hou arrived today?" ”

"Then I don't know." Uncle Zhao shook his head, if Xiong Yi came to the capital from the Qin State to pay tribute, the officials below would definitely report the matter, and now although he and Yu Shi's father are far away in the mountains outside the city, they shouldn't be so unruly. I'm afraid that the Marquis of Chu heard that the king was hunting in the mountains, so he immediately rushed over, which is quite suspicious.

"I don't even want to pay tribute to Beijing, why do I even want to come to participate in the hunting of the princes?" Bao Xi's brows were tightly locked, pacing back and forth in this tent, and he suddenly remembered the moment when Ji Gongyan's bow was aimed at Zheng Boyou yesterday, if it was not difficult to kill someone in this deep mountain, if the Zhou lord of the Central Plains died, then the Chu State in the south would naturally rise, and the Marquis of Chu was only afraid that he came here happily for this purpose.

Bao Xi's heart "chuckled", looked at Uncle Zhao and said, "Prepare the horse, I'm going to find the king." ”

"Mother?" Uncle Zhao asked, "I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate, right?" ”

"What's inappropriate?" Bao Xi's tone was a little more stern, "The Marquis of Chu is here, mixed into the ranks of the princes, but the king doesn't know about it, if the Marquis of Chu just came to hunt, what if he plots against the king?" The ambition of the state of Chu to be the king is not an overnight thing, how can there be two tigers in one mountain? Prepare the horse...... If the king has three longs and two shorts, who of you can afford to take this responsibility? ”

"But if Niangniang has three longs and two shorts, we are afraid that we will not be able to bear this responsibility!" Uncle Zhao dissuaded, "In the deep mountains, it is not as good as in the palace, Niangniang is only worried that someone will kill the king, if it is the other way around...... Someone is plotting against the mother? ”

"You go with me!" Bao Xi glanced at Uncle Zhao and said, "If Uncle doesn't go, I'll go to find Yu Shangqing!" He must have been happy to accompany me on this journey deep into the mountains! ”

Uncle Zhao gritted his teeth and had to say, "Yes!" ”

"Prepare the horses!" Bao Xi threw off her sleeves and walked out the door. Uncle Zhao was stunned outside the door, and then quickly followed Bao Xi's steps, ran towards the door, found two horses from the stable, took Bao Xi's hand, looked at her worriedly and asked, "I don't know if Niang Niang can ride a horse?" ”

"Yes!" Bao Xi said, stepped on the horse stone and sat on the horse's back, holding the rope on the bridle tightly in his hand, for fear that he would slide off the horse if he turned on one side slightly, and it was not very comfortable to sit on the horse's back, and it was difficult to stabilize his body if he ran up for a while. Bao Xi gritted her teeth, she couldn't show weakness like others, and clamped the horse's belly between her legs - just like Ji Gongyan, the horse began to trot.

"Zhao Shangqing, Niangniang?" Father Yu Shi walked out from the side, looked at the two of them and asked strangely.

"Yu Shangqing," Bao Xi sat on the tall horse, overlooking the father of Yu Shi standing in front of him, the horse had not stopped, dangling in place, without a center of gravity, Bao Xi said on the horse, "If the king comes back early in a while, tell the king that Chu Hou has returned, be careful." ”

"Mother, this is?" Father Yu Shi frowned, stroked his beard with his hand, and looked Bao Xi up and down.

"I'll go to the mountains and look for the king!" Bao Xi said.

Father Yu Shi let out an "oh", his tone dragged on for a long time, then nodded, took a step back to make way for Bao Xi and Uncle Zhao, and watched the two of them gallop away before turning around and saying to the others, "Is there wolf dung in the army?" ”

"Yes!" Xiren said, before Yu Shifu made a list of Ji Gongyan into the mountains to hunt, Xiren felt strange when he prepared according to it, grassland life has always been charcoal, why do you need wolf smoke as an item? At this moment, it seems that it is really useful, Yu Shi's father waved his hand and told Xiren to hurry up and get it, and Xiren responded and ran towards the other party's sundries tent, picked up a few pieces of wolf dung from it and took them out, "What are you doing now?" ”

"Ignite!" Father Yu Shi said.

The wolf dung was placed on the flat ground and ignited, and the black smoke rose to form a wolf smoke straight into the sky, which was different from other fuels, and the smoke formed would not slowly disperse and disappear into the air, but would go straight up, sending a signal thousands of miles away. The signal transmission tool used by the beacon tower is probably like this, at this moment, Father Yu Shi informed Ji Gongyan that Chuhou was coming in this way, looking at the imperceptible black smoke in the distance, Ji Gongyan pulled the bridle on his horse, frowned slightly, and turned the horse's head, "Chuhou is here?" He muttered, he had discussed with Father Yu Shi before leaving, and if Chu Hou came, he would set off wolf smoke to inform him, and he could also prepare.

Ji Gongyan also guessed that Chu Hou should not let go of such a good opportunity to kill. The war in Qin has long been attributed to the truce between the two soldiers, and the Marquis of Chu sent people again and again to report that he could not move, and Ji Gongyan did not believe it. After sending spies a few times, they found that Chu Hou had already been stationed not far from the capital, and he didn't know if he was waiting for an opportunity to do something or just putting on a show? Since Chu Hou didn't move, Ji Gongyan had no choice but to lure the snake out of the hole, giving Chu Hou a chance to open the city gate, and I don't know if I can invite you into the urn, if you assassinate the monarch, I'm afraid it's a big crime!

Ji Gongyan sat on the horse and walked back and forth in the mountains, his ears were pricked up to listen to the sound in the distance, and he didn't see the sound of broken horses' hooves for a long time, but there was a white fox who didn't know where to suddenly burst out, he didn't want to get off the horse immediately, bowed down in the grass, quietly pulled up the bow and arrow, put the arrow against the arrow string, breathed carefully, stared at the bush that had just moved.

Ji Gongyan's eyes narrowed together, as if trying to see the white fox hiding in it through the bushes, and after a few hesitations, he released an arrow, and flew towards the white fox with a "whoosh". At the same time, someone also aimed at Ji Gongyan and sent an arrow, and the same "whoosh" hit him in the back.

"Be careful, King!" Bao Xi's voice came from behind him, and before Ji Gongyan could react, Bao Xi had already hugged him from behind Ji Gongyan, closed his eyes tightly, buried his head in his back, and held Ji Gongyan's arm tightly. Ji Gongyan's heart was suddenly shocked, and without thinking about it, he immediately turned around and grabbed the arrow with his hand, his hand was cut by a sharp arrow, and blood oozed out, "Who released the arrow?" He let out a loud shout.

"Daring fanatic!" There was another shout, Chu Hou didn't know where it came from, he lifted the long sword in his hand and slashed at the person who released the arrow, the other party didn't even snort and fell down with blood splashed five steps, and before he died, he looked at Chu Hou with wide eyes, and it was written all over his face that was incredible.

Chu Hou ran towards Ji Gongyan, "The king forgives his sins!" Wechen's rescue was too late. ”

Ji Gongyu frowned and didn't speak.

"Disturbed the king and the mother, right?" Chu Hou looked at Ji Gongyan and Bao Xi and asked pretending to be concerned, Bao Xi let go of the hand holding Ji Gongyan, tore a ribbon from his clothes, held Ji Gongyan's broad palm, and wrapped his wound with a white strip of cloth, the wound was wound, Ji Gongyan quickly clenched his hand into a fist, didn't look at Bao Xi, just stared at Xiong Yi and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"It's the soldiers who came here with Wechen, Wechen heard that the king was going to make a congratulatory gift for Niangniang to hunt the white fox, and the ministers thought that they had been offended by Doctor Bao before, and they were preparing to hunt one or two to ask Niangniang for forgiveness." Xiong Yi lowered his head and said, saluting Ji Gongyan and Bao Xi.

"Oh?" Ji Gongyan raised his voice, "What does Chu Hou mean by this...... Are you widows white foxes? ”

"The king laughed," Xiong Yi said, "I'm just focusing on hunting the white fox," he said, really pulling out a pure white fox from behind him, which had been killed by a sword in his own hands, "I didn't notice that someone was leaving, and I even tried to assassinate the king." This is the garrison of the Qin State that entered Beijing with Weichen to report the war to the king, but I am afraid that it is ......" he frowned, "Someone instigated." ”

"If Chu Hou hadn't killed him just now...... Ji Gongyan sneered, "Don't you know who instigated it now?" ”

"The king forgives the sin," Xiong Yi said with his hands clenched into fists, "I am just in a hurry, I am afraid that this person will threaten the comfort of the king and his mother, but since it is the Qin army, it must have always been at the dispatch of General Baili, and I am afraid that this matter is ......" His words were not finished, but the rest of the sentence, everyone can guess what he wants to say.

"Enough!" Ji Gongyan waved his hand, "There are many people in this matter, Chu Hou will go down first!" ”

"Yes!" Xiong Yi nodded, ready to retreat, and suddenly took a step forward, holding the body of the white fox in both hands and handing it to Ji Gongyan, "I hope the king will forgive him!" ”

Ji Gongyan glanced at the white fox, and said to Uncle Zhao, who was standing next to him and didn't speak, "Zhao Shangqing has taken the white fox in, go back to the camp first, right?" ”

"Yes!" Uncle Zhao nodded, and a small drum was also played in his heart, he hadn't looked at Bao Xi since he bandaged Ji Gongyan just now, her such a desperate behavior must have annoyed the king again, he walked over, took a look at Bao Xi with the white fox, and exchanged a look with her, Bao Xi's expression was quite calm, just nodded slightly, signaling Uncle Zhao not to worry.
