Chapter 19: Prey
Pulling the fur from the mink's neck, he saw a bell the size of a little finger. It is tied with thin thread that is the same color as the mink's coat and is also soft.
The bell is also lavender, and it is engraved with this indescribable pattern, which is mysterious and strange. Seeing that the Nine Emperor Princes whispered an order to an attendant, the attendant left silently. Xie Ling gestured to the person in the shadows.
The attendant took the map and led the way in front, and when they reached the general direction, the Nine Emperor Princes asked everyone to separate to find traces. I searched all over the neighborhood, but I couldn't even see a shadow, gathered together, the Nine Emperors and the little Hou Ye exchanged a look, the little Hou Ye shook his head slightly, looking at Xie Ling, but he was still calm. Xie Xun frowned, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
Tianshen couldn't help but comfort him: "Isn't Xun'er very disappointed." ”
Xun'er nodded embarrassedly.
"Do you know that in addition to bravery, skill, and tools, hunting requires a very important thing, what is it?"
"Hmm... Luck?"
"Luck is good, but there's patience. The incident of me and your aunt suppressing the bandits was rumored to be miraculous, as if the two of us were possessed by gods, descended from the sky, and slaughtered all directions, but we didn't know that it took us three days to make a plan, another three days to prepare, and then waited for half a month before waiting for the best time. It took a lot of patience for us to get to the end of it. If you don't have enough patience, it's not necessarily who is the hunter and who is the prey. “
"Well, Uncle Twilight, I see, as long as there is a Purple Moon Mink, I will definitely be able to catch it and give it to my sister. ”
When the Nine Emperors heard this, they couldn't help but be fascinated, "The legend of the two smashing the bandits' den in one fell swoop has also been widely spread in the capital, attracting countless people to yearn for it, and some people think it is an exaggeration." However, everyone only saw the glory, but did not see the efforts behind it, and the contributions made by the two to the pacification of the Hexi bandits were really embarrassing for us and other royal family members. “
"Let's just say, to be a hero, you must not only be strong in martial arts, but also rely on intelligence. ”
"Two False Praises"
While speaking, everyone had gone deep into the mountains and forests, and the attendants who were inquiring in front came to report that they had found traces of the purple moon marten in front, "Whoever dies of the deer depends on his ability, go." "The little marquis holds a bow and arrows, and takes the lead.
Running to the place, the attendant was still talking about how he found out, and he invited merit with joy, but the little marquis's eyes were fixed on a branch seven or eight zhang away, and the others followed his gaze, and it turned out that there was a small lump on the branch hiding behind the bushes of leaves, and it was difficult for him to see it at a glance.
He stopped the chattering attendant with a gesture, turned his head, and smiled smugly. Transporting the internal force, it approached silently, and the mass did not move. Came to the bottom of the tree, skillfully climbed the tree, "click" accidentally stepped on a branch, and the lump was still not moving.
Speed up, I can finally catch it, I saw that the little marquis held his breath, looked at the position, and quickly started, and actually grabbed the back of the neck of the group in one fell swoop. Jumped down and ran over with a bumpy lift. So smoothly, Zi Yan Tian faintly protected the Nine Emperor Princes, and Xie Ling looked at the little marquis.
Brought that group to the eyes of the Nine Emperor Princes, "I caught it, you lost, let's see if it's it." Before he finished speaking, he heard a few slight bells, and the group that had been 'obedient' suddenly struggled, his fur was smooth, and he took advantage of the little marquis to relax his vigilance, and he actually broke free like this, and jumped desperately, opened his teeth and claws, and rushed straight to the door of the Nine Emperors.
Tian Shen, who was beside the Nine Emperor Princes, quickly used the scabbard of his left hand to block and beat, his body changed, his right hand grabbed the ball, his thumb and index finger stuck his neck, and his palm wrapped around its body. That mass couldn't move, it turned out to be just a sable, not the most precious purple moon marten.
After grabbing it, I found that there was a small bell under the neck of the little mink, which was hung with a thin wire.
Xie Ling stood firmly at the empty door behind the little marquis, and when the little marten was in trouble, the luck caught up with the attendant who found the clue who wanted to run.
The pattern doesn't seem to be the pattern of the Five Kingdoms.,I don't know who wants to kill the prince.。 "It seems to be commonplace.
Sister Yan handed the man over to other people to take care of, walked over, looked at the pattern on the bell and looked familiar, and took the bell off, "It's a Dian person." ”
"Oh, the legend of the Dian people is only recorded in ancient books, due to the change of dynasties, it is said that it has been lost, and the Dian people have also become extinct. ”
"Before, I was in the depths of Yunnan with my friends, and found an ancient tomb, but it was hollowed out, only the shell of the ancient tomb was left, and it was made into an altar of the Dian people, and the organs and buildings in it seemed that there were still people maintaining them from time to time, and a few places in Yunnan also spread the legend of the Dian people, thinking that the Dian people were not extinct, but hidden, and this pattern was the same as on the altar."
"Since the Dian people live in seclusion in the mountains and are not known, why did they come to harm Chongguang, could they have been subdued?"
"I can't say, but the other party brought us here, it's not just that simple, there must be a killer move. Xie Ling was also cautious, this trip was dangerous and he could handle it, but he had to ensure that the two children were not hurt at all.
"Uncle Seven, what about this little mink?"
Xie Ling carefully looked at the mink's teeth and claws, "It's really poisonous, let's not want this, okay? Uncle will find a better one for you in the future." ”
Xie Xun looked disappointed, "um", and looked at the little mink reluctantly.
"Put it away first, put it in the cage, and go back. "The small cage that Sister Yan prepared when she brought it.
Xie Xun hugged the cage and frowned, "I will take care of it and won't let it hurt." ”
"Let's get out of here. ”
"Good"
The group got on their horses, and they did not encounter danger all the way, getting closer and closer to the edge of the cedar forest, the road gradually widened, and the horses ran faster and faster.
The mutation protruded, and several jumping tripwires appeared on the ground. "Stop!" the horse had no time to stop. Sister Yan Tianshen reacted quickly, jumped up with strength, one caught Xie Yu, and the other caught Xie Xun. The Nine Emperors, Little Marquis, and Xie Ling also landed safely, except for a few elite guards such as the Thirteenth, the others were all turned on their backs. At the same time, there was the sound of a machine spring in the forest, and several sharp arrows whistled. The guards hurriedly protected their masters, and before they had time to get up, they had already lost their combat effectiveness by arrows, and the person who was captured was directly shot into a hedgehog because he was tied up and had no power to resist.
Sister Yan Tianshen and the two drew out their long swords, dancing impenetrable, and Xie Yu and Xie inquired about the stability of the protection, the Nine Emperor Princes and the Little Marquis were back to back, one sword and one sword, and the guards were attacked one after another. Xie Ling waved his fan, which could not be broken by an arrow, and the edge of the fan was as sharp as a blade. There was no danger at the moment, and everyone walked in the way and retreated to a dense part of the jungle.
The guards suffered a lot of losses and lost their horses, and the other party's ability to calculate people's hearts is not small, so he chose to make trouble in the place with the least vigilance. "With the other party's behavior, they forced us here, and it seems that they really drove us away as prey. Next, the hunter is expected to appear. ”
Xie Yu clenched the dagger in her sleeve tightly, and her sister Yan held her hand and comforted her slightly. Xie Yu nodded, stood beside Xie Xun, and looked around vigilantly, Xie Xun held his sister's hand, "Sister, I will protect you." ”
"Okay, Inquire to protect me. ”
Guards stood all around, bandaging each other's wounds.
"It's coming"
Sister Yan Tianshen felt a slight murderous aura.
