Chapter 158: I Will Protect You
All the hunters had set out, and one by one they rushed to the lush woods, eager to take the lead and show off their demeanor before the emperor.
Shen Changge and Shen Yiqing went into the woods side by side, and saw that everyone else began to disperse and go hunting in different places.
"Uncle Huang, where are we going next?" Looking at the direction in which the others left, Shen Changge turned his head and asked.
"Go ahead." Shen Yiqing said, the whip in his hand whipped to the horse's back, and the horse galloped forward in an instant.
Seeing this, Shen Changge hurriedly drove his horse to follow.
And behind them, Liu Qingfeng and Situ Che both wanted to follow, but Liu Yue'er, Du Qin, and Shen Yuwei all followed them, so they couldn't leave them alone.
In previous years, only men participated in the hunts, and most of the women stayed in the camps.
But this year is different, all female students who pass the assessment can follow the others into the paddock to hunt and compete for the top spot.
Therefore, of course, Du Qin and the others also want to experience the feeling of hunting.
But they had never participated before, so they didn't know what to do after entering the woods, so they could only silently follow Liu Qingfeng and Situ Che.
"Brother, what should we do now?" Liu Yue'er drove her horse to Liu Qingfeng's side and asked curiously.
"Hunting, of course." Liu Qingfeng glanced at her and said impatiently, "If you see prey, shoot it with an arrow, you won't know this?" ”
His somewhat perfunctory tone made Liu Yue'er suddenly dissatisfied: "Brother, are you disgusted that we have dragged you down?" Then you can leave us alone, we can do it ourselves! ”
Then, she turned the horse's head, came to Du Qin's side, and snorted softly: "Sister Qin, let's ignore my brother, we can still do without him!" ”
With that, she paid no attention to the others, and drove her horse straight to a fork in the road on the right.
Seeing this, Du Qin looked at Liu Qingfeng unhappily: "Qingfeng, how can you say that about Yue'er?" If Yue'er understands, why should she ask you? ”
Looking at him with some disappointment, she didn't say anything more and chased after Liu Yue'er.
Liu Qingfeng was suddenly anxious, and explained urgently: "I didn't mean to, I ...... I just saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had gone away, and I was a little anxious. ”
"You'd better hurry up and take a look, Miss Liu looks quite sad." Situ Che patted him on the shoulder and said helplessly.
Liu Qingfeng turned his head to look at him, then looked at Shen Yuwei, who was always silent, and said, "Then I'll go first, Situ Gongzi, you have to take care of the third princess." ”
"Don't worry, with me, I won't let the third princess have anything to do."
Liu Qingfeng glanced at him with deep eyes, and after saying goodbye to Shen Yuwei, he hurriedly drove his horse in the direction where Liu Yue'er and Du Qin left.
After he walked away, Situ Che retracted his gaze, turned his head and said to Shen Yuwei: "Third princess, let's continue to move forward." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the prince are estimated to have gone far, but don't worry, I will protect you. ”
Listening to his firm and serious words, Shen Yuwei only felt a little embarrassed, and a touch of crimson appeared on her pretty face.
Hanging her head slightly, she bowed her head lightly and whispered, "That...... Let's go. ”
His hands, on the other hand, were clenched nervously on the reins.
She had never been alone with Situ Gongzi, so she didn't know what to say to him.
Just as she was nervously looking left and right, she suddenly saw a brown rabbit jumping up, and she hurriedly shouted, "Situ Gongzi, rabbit!" There's a rabbit there! ”
When Situ Che heard this, he followed her gaze and saw the chubby rabbit at a glance.
So, he hurriedly bent his bow and arrows.
However, just as the sharp arrow was about to leave the string, Shen Yuwei suddenly spoke: "Situ Gongzi, can you not hurt it?" I wanted to capture it alive and bring it back to raise it. ”
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Situ Che pleadingly.
Her watery eyes were full of expectation, and her originally bright eyes were a little pitiful at this time, which actually made Situ Che have a moment of trance.
"Wait a minute, princess, I'll go and help you get the rabbit back." Putting away his bow and arrows, Situ Che dismounted, and struck at the rabbit with swift and agile movements.
The rabbit sensed that danger was approaching, and instinctively wanted to run away, but just a few steps out, he was caught by Situ Che.
Holding the rabbit that was as fat as a ball came to Shen Yuwei, Situ Che carefully handed the rabbit to her.
"Princess, watch out for it biting you."
Shen Yuwei had a happy smile on her face, and she reached out to pick it up, but her fingers accidentally touched Situ Che's hand, and the warm temperature of the moment hit her, making her withdraw her hand almost reflexively.
There was also an embarrassed look on his face instantly.
Situ Che didn't think there was anything at first, but Shen Yuwei's somewhat frightened behavior made him embarrassed.
Turning his head a little uncomfortably, he cleared his throat and said, "Why don't I help the princess take care of the rabbit first, and then I will hand it over to the princess when I return to the camp." Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for the princess to ride a horse with a rabbit in her arms. ”
Shen Yuwei didn't dare to look at him, for fear that he would see his red cheeks, so he had to respond angrily: "Then, there is Lao Situ Gongzi." ”
"The third princess is serious." Situ Che answered, turned around and returned to his horse, turned over on the horse smoothly, and continued to move forward.
In his hand, he carefully held the rabbit, for fear of hurting it, which would eventually make Shen Yuwei sad.
Shen Yuwei silently followed behind him, looking up from time to time, quietly looking at the tall and reliable figure in front of her.
When she noticed that he had been holding the rabbit, she couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, revealing a hint of joy.
In my heart, there is an indescribable emotion spreading.
……
After Shen Changge and Shen Yiqing went all the way into the woods, they didn't even see a single prey.
"It's weird, why don't you have a single prey?" Frowning his brows, Shen Changge said distressedly, "If it goes on like this, how can I still get the first place?" ”
"It doesn't look like anyone has been here, and I guess there is no prey in this area." Shen Yiqing looked around and said, "Go over there and have a look." ”
As he spoke, he continued along the fork in the road.
After Shen Changge sighed helplessly, he had to follow.
But she felt extremely depressed in her heart, her luck wouldn't be so unlucky, right?
If she couldn't meet her prey all the time, wouldn't she really have to lose to Shen Tianhua and Shen Qingyang?
As soon as she thought of Shen Qingyang's disdain and belittlement of her, her heart suddenly surged with a strong fighting spirit.
No, she must get first place!
Let Shen Qingyang see who is more powerful!
