Chapter 18: Pit after pit
The soup bowl steadied herself and stood again in the same position she had stood on, looking at the angle that would shake her eyes. This time, she was fully prepared, so when the light flickered again, she still stood well.
"It looks like a knife...... "Soup Bowl muttered to herself, and after keeping that location firmly in mind, she turned and climbed down the tree. Went to the place with the suspicious reflection.
When she finally stood under the tree, looking at the dagger from afar, she gasped: the position where the knife was pointed was the same position where she was standing now. In other words, whoever is standing here, as long as he is standing in this position, he will be injured by the falling dagger.
And now, this dagger was very cleverly concealed in a green leaf, and if it hadn't been for the reflection of the soup bowl on the tree over there, she would not have seen that there was a dagger hidden under the pile of green leaves.
The conversation between the two blurred men that night resurfaced in the soup bowl's mind. "Could it be that when they said that everything was ready that day, they were referring to this trap?" Tang Wan looked up at the dagger again, and gasped: Is this what they are going to do, to take Lu Ziyi's life?
The more Tang Wan thought about it, the more he felt that this guess was very likely, it must be that these people found that they couldn't kill Lu Ziyi with a knife last time in the Zenlin Temple, so they thought of taking the opportunity of this big sacrifice to assassinate him again!
"Lu Ziyi, Lu Ziyi, you talk about you, how much failure is this life? People can't wait to kill you right away! Tang Wan shook his head: "However, if you are lucky, you met me as a kind person, although you have a bad temper and are dragged by people, but who told you to save me once or twice?" ”
The soup bowl stood under the dagger and walked around several times. Originally, she had planned to unload the knife, but it turned out that it had been hoisted by someone using the silk of that day in a very ingenious way, and if she had dismantled it now, it might cause a series of reactions.
After hesitating for a long time, the soup bowl finally didn't move.
Since she can't take this "murder weapon" away, all she can do now is to stay here and act when the time comes.
Having made up his mind, the soup bowl first wiped out all the footprints he had just stepped on, and then looked around again, found a bush that was not very noticeable, got into it, and hid it.
Lu Ziyi, who was in charge of the imperial mausoleum festival, was not yet able to heal the injury on his back, so Emperor Chen Yang specially ordered Li Mohan to follow Lu Ziyi into the imperial mausoleum.
At this time, it was already pitch black outside, and in Lu Ziyi's marching tent, Lu Ziyi and Li Mohan were sitting opposite each other.
"I watched the stars a few days and nights ago, and found that the weather around this emperor star was chaotic, and this time the big festival may have great variables."
"My lord himself is in the position of this national teacher, is there no way to resolve it?" Li Mohan said.
"The weather around the auxiliary star is more chaotic, so it can be seen that this time, they are mainly targeting me." Lu Ziyi said.
"If that's the case, why did you bother to make this trip yourself? Anyway, the injuries on the body are not good, and those two are not trouble-free masters, so why not push the boat down the river......"
Li Mohan's words were only halfway said, and they were intercepted by Lu Ziyi: "Don't make a stoma for no reason......"
Li Mohan was cut off and was stunned for a while, then he sighed heavily and stopped talking.
And Lu Ziyi, who was sitting opposite him, had already closed his eyes, as if he was about to fall asleep.
"Thinking about it, the old decay should be too worried, and the national teacher has his own wisdom in his heart. It's just that this is more exposed, so please take care of your body more. Li Mohan said, and after giving Lu Ziyi a deep salute, he stood up, opened the curtain of the marching tent, and went out. Only Lu Ziyi was left sitting alone in the marching tent. And in the invisible place, there was a person who also sat upright, motionless and looking at the moonlight outside.
The night passed quickly.
Early in the morning, a lot of people came in front of Lu Ziyi's marching tent, and the most conspicuous of them were the two princes who were in the limelight.
"National teacher, this king heard his father say, the triangular color deer is very human, if it is a person it does not approve, how can you think of a way, it will not obediently come to you to be fooled, national teacher, is there such a thing?" Huaiwang Chen Wenxuan was wearing a hunting suit today, which made his originally more bookish and angry face a little heroic.
"Rui Beast understands human nature, otherwise, it would not be selected as a special auspicious beast for sacrifice." Lu Ziyi just smiled faintly and did not answer Chen Wenxuan's words positively.
"This king has heard that this beast is not very good-tempered, and there have been several scenes before where its captors have been seriously injured." Duanwang Chen Wenze also interjected: "Now that the old injury of the national teacher has not healed, you have to be more careful when the time comes!" ”
Lu Ziyi still had that faint smile: "Weichen must pay attention, aren't there still two princes here?" No matter how strong the Rui Beast is, how can it be stronger than the two dragon sons and grandsons? However, His Royal Highness King Duan is right, it is not wrong to be careful in everything. ”
While a few people were talking, they saw a small soldier come forward to report: "Everything is ready to welcome the Rui Beast, please ask the two Highnesses and the National Teacher to move to the Imperial Forest." ”
The triangular deer had been besieged by the soldiers in a small area, and the large wooden cage was ready, just need to drive it inside.
And this area is around the bushes where the soup bowl is hiding.
Watching those soldiers drive an extremely beautiful colored deer into their sight, the soup bowl was so nervous that he forgot to breathe.
This Rui beast is here, and Lu Ziyi is almost here! The soup bowl peered through the gap in the bushes to observe the movement outside.
"The imperial tomb sacrifice, the matter is big, this Rui beast must not have the slightest mistake." Today, Lu Ziyi also changed into a neat hunting outfit, and appeared heroically in front of the soup bowl, which made her look a little stunned for a while.
"Ahh Didn't you see this guy standing in that dangerous place without knowing anything? Tang Wan saw that the position where Lu Ziyi was standing, which was facing the position where the dagger could attack, she wanted to jump out on the spot and tell Lu Ziyi, but she couldn't. Therefore, she could only pay close attention to Lu Ziyi's every move, and then quickly calculated in her mind how to save when the dagger really fell.
All the attention of the soup bowl was on Lu Ziyi, and she didn't notice that her two hands had already been tightly clenched into fists, and she didn't feel it until her knuckles turned white.
The tricerased deer found that the space it could move around was getting smaller and smaller, and it began to become restless, constantly circling in circles, occasionally using its horns to push against the soldiers around it, trying to break through.
However, if it topped down two, four soldiers would immediately replace it, and later, this way out was not found, and a lot of strength was consumed. The spirit beast began to gasp for air, its four hooves scraping around the ground in preparation for a final effort.
And the surrounding soldiers, including Lu Ziyi and the two princes, were also waiting for it, wanting to drive it into the wooden cage.
The three-cornered deer jumped and jumped high towards where Lu Ziyi was standing. And Lu Ziyi's eyes narrowed, and he had quietly pinched a silver needle as thin as a cow's hair between his fingers. As long as he pierced the silver needle into the top of the triangular deer's head, it would faint for a short time and lose its ability to resist. But it won't hurt its life.
The three-cornered deer was getting closer and closer to Lu Ziyi's body, and Lu Ziyi's hand holding the silver needle also lifted up.
At this moment, suddenly in everyone's ears, there was a sound of sharp weapons breaking through the air, and then a silver light flashed, heading straight towards Lu Ziyi's body.
"Lu Ziyi, be careful!" Everyone was stunned for a few seconds by this sudden change, but the soup bowl had already run out of the bushes, and then pushed Lu Ziyi to the side fiercely.
......A cloud of blood rose from the shoulder of the soup bowl, and the dagger was so powerful that it did not pause because it pierced into the shoulder of the soup bowl, but passed through her shoulder, and then, plunged headlong into the other, no, the triangular deer.
The three-cornered deer screamed, and the body that rose into the air, like a kite with a broken string, fell straight from the air, fell to the ground, and raised a cloud of dust from the boss.
"Lu Ziyi, are you okay?" Before the soup bowl fell into darkness, all she heard was chaos around her, with people screaming, people running around, and people constantly shouting, "Check on the situation of the beast......
Lu Ziyi was pushed by the soup bowl, but he tripped and fell by the dead branches and leaves below. When he turned around, he saw the figure of the soup bowl lying down with his eyes closed.
Without even thinking about it, he stepped forward and hugged the body of the soup bowl.
After a period of panic, Lu Ziyi saw that the king Chen Wenze was looking at him with a gloomy face: "National teacher, don't you explain?" ”
Lu Ziyi wrapped his hands around the already unconscious soup bowl and looked up at Chen Wenze: "Weichen doesn't know what His Royal Highness Duan Wang means by this?" ”
"What do you mean? The Beast is dead. Chen Wenze's hand pointed to the triangular deer whose fur had changed color on the side of his body: "Also, how could this little minion in your house happen to appear here?" ”
Lu Ziyi glanced down at the soup bowl again, and then said: "This, Weichen really doesn't know, but please rest assured, His Royal Highness Duanwang, when he wakes up, Weichen will definitely ask clearly, clearly!" ”
"No need, you should keep these words and explain them to your father!" Chen Wenze waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to carry the dead triangular deer into the wooden cage, and then walked towards the outside of the royal forest.
