The next day, the sun was high, the flags were hunting, and the camp was filled with the sound of horses clattering.

Baili Qingcang sat on a tall black horse, his face full of joy: "Today, you don't have to be formal, you show your skills, whoever shows the most courage will be rewarded." ”

"Yes, Emperor Xie!" Everyone raised their bows and arrows and applauded, especially the princes with a look of hesitation, and even the horses under them were constantly restless in place.

Baili Qingcang picked up his bow and arrow, with a low concentration in his eyes, and the bow and arrow in his hand bent into a full moon, and shot the first arrow with a bang.

"Good!" There was a sound of congratulations around, and after a while, a guard carried the deer shot by Baili Qingcang over: "The emperor is wise and powerful!" ”

"Haha, okay, it's up to you." Baili Qingcang announced the start of the hunt, and suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of shouting and cheering made people shake their hearts.

Shen Ninghua sat on the horse, looking at the second prince who was in the lead, the light in his eyes was cold and indifferent, and he pulled the reins slightly: "Drive!" ”

Qingque rode a horse and followed behind Shen Ninghua, and the two fell behind the team, enjoying the surrounding scenery along the road, which was also interesting.

Gradually, the people scattered, each searching for prey in the woods.

Shen Ninghua was not in a hurry to hunt, she only drove the horse and walked slowly, and suddenly, she stopped and looked up at the branches.

A squirrel didn't know if it was disturbed by the horses, and it was standing on a branch of a tree for a good time, but suddenly it jumped and fell directly down, and fell to the ground, and the pine cone in his hand fell out with a clatter.

"Hehe," Shen Ninghua chuckled, "This squirrel is really stupid." ”

Qingque dismounted and picked up the squirrel and sent it to Shen Ninghua: "Miss, if you like it, you can take it back and raise it." ”

Shen Ninghua touched the squirrel's fluffy ears: "It grows in the mountains and forests, how can it adapt to the cage, forget it, let's let it go back." ”

She was about to hand the squirrel to the sparrow, but the squirrel jumped up violently, jumped directly on the horse's head, and then kicked it hard in the horse's eyes.

Shen Ninghua was startled, subconsciously tightened the reins, and sure enough, in the next second, the horse neighed violently, jumped high with its front hooves, and quickly ran towards the side of the forest.

"Miss!"

The blue finch exclaimed, and immediately drove the horse after him.

Chu Junyi had been secretly paying attention to Shen Ninghua's movements, and when he saw that something was wrong with her, he immediately turned his horse's head and chased after her.

The wind in her ears was cold, blowing people's cheeks painfully, Shen Ninghua clamped the horse's belly tightly, the reins in her hand grinded her palms painfully, and the faint smell of blood came to the tip of her nose, she knew that her palms were worn out, but she didn't dare to let go, falling from the horse at this time, the bones of her whole body could be broken, plus the ground was full of stones and dead branches, and her luck would be a little worse.

Chu Junyi pursed his lips tightly, and kept driving the horses under him, but because of the distance that began to fall, he couldn't catch up: "Drive!" Drive! Ninghua, hold on to the reins! ”

Baili Jinze, who was running at the front, saw a trace of red flashing in the depths of the dense forest, and the light in his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted: "There are elks!" Then he turned his horse's head and ran into the depths of the forest, and soon shook off the guards.

The dark guard jumped out of the tree, carrying the dead squirrel in his hand: "Master, it has been arranged." ”

"Well, according to the plan, I will go after Princess Zhaohua, you will intercept and kill Chu Junyi and Qingque halfway, and you must not let them leave the forest alive!"

"Yes, master."

The more the horses ran through the forest, the denser it became, and Shen Ninghua's heart sank more and more, because he had been working too hard, the muscles on his arms were already numb and numb, and his palms were already blurred with flesh and blood.

Chu Junyi kept driving the horses under him, but the speed of the horses became slower and slower, and the panic and worry clenched his heart tightly. Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the air in his ears, and he turned around and bent down sharply, and a sharp arrow grazed his back.

Chu Junyi's pupils shrank suddenly: if it wasn't for the timely dodge, the sharp arrow hit him right in the back of the heart.

That arrow seemed to have fired a signal, and then a dense rain of feather arrows shot towards Chu Junyi.

Shen Ninghua took out his sword, and a sharp sword turned into a sword flower, protecting the surrounding water without leaking, but the horse was not so lucky, it was directly shot into a beecomb by the arrow, and lay on the ground without a sound after neighing twice.

Through the dense rain of arrows, Chu Junyi looked in the direction where Ning Hua disappeared, and a heavy killing intent flashed in his eyes, these people should be damned!

Shen Ninghua's horse was out of control so badly that it gradually became tired after running for about an hour, Shen Ninghua slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and tried to shout to make the horse stop, but he didn't know where to shoot a feather arrow and plunged directly into the horse's head.

The horses neighed and stopped suddenly, and Shen Ninghua was thrown out directly by inertia.

Just when she was about to clench her teeth and prepare to bear the severe pain, she suddenly felt herself stunned, and then she was stopped and hugged by someone:

"Ning Hua, are you okay?"

Shen Ninghua gasped slightly, and when she looked up, she saw Baili Jinchuan looking at her worriedly: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince?" ”

"Well, I was just hunting an elk, and I didn't expect to see your horse out of control, so I hurriedly stepped forward to help you. It's great that you're okay. ”

Shen Ninghua pushed him away, frowned and looked at the dead horse on the ground, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”

"No problem." Baili Jinchuan smiled slightly, as if he didn't notice Shen Ninghua's deliberate distancing, he lowered his head and swept her arm, his face was worried, "Ninghua, are you injured?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of gold sore medicine from his arms: "I have the medicine powder here, you use it first, let's find a place to rest first, and I'll help you bandage it." ”

Shen Ninghua withdrew his unconscious arm into his sleeve: "Thank you for the kindness of the second prince, my maid should come over soon, just stand there and wait." ”

Baili Jinchuan sighed slightly: "Ning Hua, I know that you still have resentment against me in your heart, but after such a long time of reflection, I have realized my mistake, now, I just regard you as my sister, as an elder brother, seeing my sister injured, can it be that sending some medicine will also arouse suspicion?" ”

Shen Ninghua's expression did not move at all: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince can figure it out, it is naturally the best, but the Second Prince also knows that I had a serious illness before, and I have been recuperating in Beizhuang for more than half a year, although the disease has been cured, many medicines cannot be used, so thank you for your kindness." ”

Seeing that Shen Ninghua still did not waver, Baili Jinchuan sighed deeply, suddenly rolled up his sleeves, took out a dagger and slashed it at his arm, and blood flowed out instantly. He didn't care at all, and took out the medicinal powder and sprinkled it on the wound: "Ning Hua, this medicinal powder is very effective for wounds, your palms hurt too much, if you don't treat it, I'm afraid it will have an impact in the future." ”

Shen Ninghua's eyes moved, and he stretched out his bloody fingers.

Baili Jinchuan frowned tightly, wanting to help her take the medicine in person, but Shen Ninghua avoided her: "I'll just come by myself." ”

Shen Ninghua directly took the medicine bottle and poured the medicine powder on the wound, the movement was very light and smooth, as if the wound on his hand did not exist at all.

At this time, Chu Junyi and Qingque were still fighting in the rain of arrows in the sky, and the arrows around them had fallen into a dense layer on the ground, but there were still arrows flying over in the air, and Qingque was hit by an arrow in his arm, his face was very pale, and he gritted his teeth to support it.

The arrows were smeared with poison.

Chu Junyi grabbed a feather arrow and shot it towards the grass, and suddenly heard a muffled sound. There was a numbing pain in his palm, and Chu Junyi secretly gritted his teeth: What a good plan, the entire arrow was coated with poison, what a vicious mind!

took out the antidote pill that Shen Ninghua had given him before from his purse and stuffed it into his mouth, and then grabbed the arrow on the ground and shot it the same way.

Half an hour later, Chu Junyi gasped for breath, ran forward for a while, and saw the besieged Qingque, drew the saber at his waist, and he directly joined the battle group.

By the time the two of them had eliminated the guards, about an hour had passed.

Chu Junyi gave Qingque an antidote pill: "Which direction did Ning Hua go?" ”

"East!"

"You go back and move the rescue soldiers, it's best to bring the emperor here."

"Yes, slave understands."

Leaning on the side of the road and resting for about an hour, Shen Ninghua felt his numb arm slightly, Shen Ninghua carefully took out a gold needle from the edge of his sleeve and carefully hid it.

In the afternoon, when the sun had weakened and the forest was getting darker and darker, Baili Jinchuan lit a bonfire and approached the flame to roast a rabbit that he had caught.

"Ninghua, the dew is heavy at night, you can get closer to the fire to warm up, and those snakes, cordyceps and ants don't dare to approach."

"No problem." Feeling that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, Shen Ninghua couldn't help frowning.

"Ninghua, you're sleepy, sleep for a while when you're sleepy."

Shen Ninghua raised his head suddenly, but his body was weak for a while, and he fell forward suddenly.

Baili Jinchuan grabbed her, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Ning Hua, what's wrong?" ”

Shen Ninghua bit the tip of her tongue fiercely: "When did you do your hands and feet?" ”

"When I started the fire just now, I added a little sleeping incense to the fire, and the position where you sat was just downwind."

"Baili Jinchuan, you are really despicable!"

"I'm also doing this for your good, now that Chu Junyi is in the wilderness, I can't marry you if I want to." Baili Jinchuan raised his hand to caress Shen Ninghua's face, and a look of obsession flashed in his eyes.

Her eyes jumped with angry fire, and her beautiful face became more and more exquisite and moving under the reflection of a piece of light, and at this time she was dressed in a red riding uniform, like a cluster of charming flames, attracting people like moths one after another, even if they were willing to die.

"Ning Hua, this time I was thoughtful, your horses were inadvertently alarmed, I occasionally met you and saved you, but the horses were lost, so I could only spend the night in the forest, but how dangerous the forest is, we encountered wolves at night, you were injured, I had to help you strip and heal......"

Shen Ninghua sneered, and the mockery in his eyes couldn't be dissolved: "Baili Jinchuan, you are a despicable villain!" ”

Baili Jinchuan smiled: "If I can get you, what can I do if I am despicable and shameless?" ”
