Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 4 The Secret Medicine Black Snake

"Whew!"

A feathered arrow suddenly flew out of the oblique thorn and landed on the ground, most of the arrow body was submerged in the hard ground, only the feathers of the tail of the arrow were still trembling slightly, and in the last moment, a vigorous sika deer suddenly turned around when it could not be fired, and finally dodged the fatal arrow.

"Wang!"

"Wang!"

"Wang!"

In the distance, the barking of a kind of hunting dog unique to Liangguo comes and goes, this kind of dog is not big, but the muscles are extremely solid, the bones are hard and pain-resistant, and the bite of the prey will not let go, and the owner is very loyal, obedient, the intelligence is extremely high, because the unique black markings on the back are like birds and there is a nickname called General Crow, ten can fight tigers, twenty can tear bears, hunting and fighting, all are of the highest grade, the border army likes to raise this kind of dog the most, the sense of smell is sensitive, good at tracking, and there is not much to eat, it is a first-class hunting dog.

On the top of the forest, there are several large birds hovering, which are falcons trained for the royal family in this autumn hunt, this kind of falcon is not only used for autumn hunting, but also has great use on the battlefield, which is regarded as a first-class sentry.

There were more than ten light horsemen around him, and there was Jinglong, who had stood guard for Concubine Li, several crow generals around, and there were falcons patrolling overhead, and the identity of the one who was protected in the middle was naturally self-evident.

Gu Yi, the current monarch of the Liang Kingdom, is in the prime of life in his Chinese New Year's Eve, although he has long been in governing the country and has not personally gone to the battlefield, and the Liang Kingdom has finally died down in these years, without the momentum of the previous monarch's crazy outward expansion, but the natural bloodline inheritance of the royal family of the Liang Kingdom is like this, very belligerent, also very good at fighting, few physically weak people, the power of this arrow is to the army at least among the fierce generals, the so-called soldier is a bear, will be a nest of bears, the courage of the Liang country, from top to bottom, can be seen.

There are two princes who have reached the age next to them, one is the eldest prince Gu Yuan, and the other is the second prince, that is, the crown prince Gu Cang, the eldest prince Gu Yuan is a typical person in the royal family of Liangguo, although he is good at reading on weekdays, but the kung fu of riding and archery has not fallen, and he can get on and off the horse freely at the age of ten, with a long knife at the waist, and a longbow and arrow bag on the horse, following his father to hunt, this is the third time, and there is no jerky meaning.

And the prince Gu Cang is favored because of his mother, but his body has been weak since he was a child, and he has been trained in the camp in previous years, and this year's nine-year-old party is the first time to accompany the autumn hunting, and the horse is also a famous horse in the world, called the unicorn, the hair of the whole body is like fire, sweat is like blood, the spurt is like smoke, the mountains and rivers, all the dangerous places, are like walking on the ground, this is a small horse that he was rewarded when he was six years old, and Gu Cang is unusually tame, that is, the unicorn is born with a different species, otherwise it will be replaced by an ordinary horse, this weak prince Cang will have to suffer more than I don't know how many sins。

If Queen Su came with her, I am afraid that she will not let her son follow the army Qiu Hunt, no matter how important Qiu Hunt is, after all, it is not as important as her son's life, and the thoughts of both parents are different after all.

There was a falcon patrolling the Quartet on the top, and the crow general below roared and kept chasing forward with the smell, more than ten horsemen accompanied him, Gu Yi raised his hand and fell with a whip, and the special horse of Youzhou Horse Farm in the west of Liangguo stepped on the cloud and chased the wind horse at this moment, as if he was really stepping on the wind, he jumped up, and instantly surpassed everyone and rushed towards the depths of the forest.

As the king of a country, he took the lead, and the other horsemen also felt a surge of pride, accompanying their own king to accelerate forward.

"Drive!"

"Drive!"

"Drive!"

。。。。。。

In the imperial tent camp, Gu Xuan, the fifth prince, is staying in the tent at the moment eating the milk food that was sent, these milk foods can enhance physical fitness, and the taste is very sweet, it is the favorite food of this Xuan prince, at this moment, he is by his mother's side, and the Xuan Emperor who is eating milk is smiling very happily.

"My silly boy. Xuan Huangzi's biological mother, Concubine Li, looked at her son at her feet, and reached out to stroke his head with great pampering.

A maid next to him suddenly stepped forward and saluted, "Niangniang, this is something given to you by the head of the family." ”

Concubine Li glanced at the palace maid in front of her, and didn't say much, she directly reached out and took a letter and a wooden box handed over by the other party, although she was from an ordinary background, kind-hearted, and didn't like palace fighting, but she was not stupid, since the night family owner secretly sent someone to come to contact a few times, she also accepted the other party's kindness, she naturally knew that this was also her husband's acquiescence.

The danger of the harem is like being in a battlefield of 10,000 people, she is a concubine, in a high position, and it is very dangerous, the remaining three concubines and the queen are all famous families, the power of the mother family is strong, she is a folk girl wants to live with her son in this cruel place, and lives very well, naturally needs the support of a big family like the night family, from then on, the entire Yongle Palace, are funded by the night family to replace a group of obedient maids, this handmaid is the clever girl personally selected by the master of the night family, and is also responsible for the direct contact between the night family and Concubine Li on weekdays。

Concubine Li opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, and began to read it silently word by word, and the people around her had already retreated, and they were not worried that anyone would see it.

After a long time, she raised her head happily, and then eagerly reached out and opened the small wooden box with a strange pattern, which contained only a small pill with a metallic luster, lying quietly on the satin base.

"This thing is a elixir that the head of the family has worked hard to find, and it is dedicated to curing this disease of the five princes。。。。。。 ”

The maid stepped forward and introduced, not forgetting to ask for credit to her master.

Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, Concubine Li turned her face and said angrily: "Nonsense, my son is not sick!", but her voice unconsciously dropped a lot at the end, looking like a big goose with a stiff neck to protect her cubs.

The only forbidden thing for the kind-hearted Concubine Li is that she is a stupid son since he was a child, and he has had such a thing before, and he loves and maintains this son very much, where can others say a bad word about him?

The maid also knew that she had accidentally said the wrong thing, and she slapped her face with two slaps, knelt down and even called the slave damned, she was so smart, she knew that Concubine Li's temperament was kind, and she also knew her true status, and sure enough, she was called up by Concubine Li after just two sentences of self-blame, and quickly retreated.

Seeing that all the maids had retreated outside, Concubine Li gently picked up her son who was squatting on the ground and playing, and gently placed it on the couch: "Emperor, mother, there is a very sweet candy here, you can eat it." ”

She didn't doubt him, first, she really couldn't think of a dignified official and a member of the court, and what reason there was to harm her stupid son, and second, her son's illness had become her heart disease over the years, who didn't want her child to be well? If there is hope to cure her son's illness, she naturally has to try it, not to mention that Ye Shangshu has promised her in the letter that there will be no problems.

Xuan Huangzi glanced at the metal pill in his mother's hand, although it didn't look delicious, he took it into his mouth without thinking about it, and then spit it out again in an instant.

Concubine Li didn't look at the precious elixir that was said to be hard to find, but hugged her son and asked nervously, "What's the matter, Huang'er." ”

She is just this child, the only hope in the deep palace, where can he be allowed to have something?

Xuan Huangzi didn't speak, just stuck out his tongue and wrinkled his little face together, revealing an uncomfortable expression.

Concubine Li has taken care of this stupid son for five years, so she naturally knows what he means, and then she turned her face again, picked up the pill from the bed, put it on the palm of her hand and said softly: "Emperor, this sugar is bitter on the outside, but it is sweet on the inside, you eat it, otherwise your mother will be angry!"

Although Emperor Xuan is stupid and self-contained, he is the most dependent on his mother, and he doesn't know if he really understands or fakes to understand, although he is very disgusted by the round thing in front of him, but he still obediently took the pill, and then tilted his head and swallowed it.

"Well, my emperor is really obedient. Concubine Li doted on her son in her arms, rubbed his face twice before putting it on the couch to the ground.

"Alright, let's go out and play. ”

The five princes may be really stupid, but his mother waved his hand to let him play, and he ran out happily, and he didn't know how to say hello or anything, so he avoided everyone's sight and ran out of the big tent in a puff of smoke.

The little prince ran all the way to the edge of the camp, and the royal horsemen and guards were patrolling all around, but there was no one guarding here, maybe it was a shift change, or maybe there was no one at all, but he didn't go out, seeing that there was no one around, he put his hand into his mouth, his stomach rose and contracted, his throat moved slightly, and he spit out the pill he had just eaten in one bite.

The outer shell of this elixir seemed to be very hard, and it had been in his stomach for several minutes, and there was not even the slightest change in the outer layer.

The little prince angrily threw the pill to the ground, and then stepped on it fiercely, wanting to destroy the evidence, the child's psychology was simple, but he was afraid that his mother would find out that he had secretly spit out the bitter candy, but he didn't expect to go down this foot, and the pill suddenly sank into the soil, and seemed to be unscathed.

Gu Xuan, the little fool, suddenly became interested, looked left and right, and struggled to lift a big stone from the side and smashed it again, although he was only five years old, his brute strength was not small, this smash, the pill was shattered in response, the little prince suddenly laughed happily, and just wanted to go up and make up for it, but after seeing that the surface of the pill was damaged, the shell that was broken into a network slowly collapsed, and a small black snake-like thing slowly came out of it.

The little prince tilted his head and glanced at it, not thinking about it, so he subconsciously raised his foot and stepped on it.

The little snake seemed to be very spiritual, and when he saw that the top of his head was dark, he only twisted his small body, and jumped out in an instant, Gu Xuan stepped on the air, and he was interested, but he didn't think about it, of course, he was a fool who thought of other things, and chased after it directly.

One step, two steps, three steps。。。。。。

Gradually, the figure of the little prince disappeared outside the camp.
