Chapter 121 Wolf Hunting
Xiao Mu's face showed a gloomy color, his brows furrowed even deeper, and said: "This king has already deployed manpower to prevent the lone Moyuan wolf from entering the city and causing chaos, and has also ordered the people of all cities to raise their vigilance. It's just that the cities of Yunzhou were originally under the jurisdiction of the Duke of Weiguo, and this king took over for a while, so it is inevitable that there will be some omissions. General Feng has the leisure to talk about the duties of the lord of this king, so it is better to think about how to deal with the Desert Wolf Camp that may arrive at any time. ”
Feng Jianbei smiled to himself, stood up straight and was about to walk down the city wall, when suddenly a person walked up the stairs in front of the city wall. Li Xianru almost bumped into Feng Jianbei at the entrance of the stairs head-on, Feng Jianbei turned around, smiled at Li Xianru, and walked down.
Li Xianru seemed to be a little worried, as if she didn't see Feng Jianbei, walked quickly to Xiao Mu's side, and said, "The city gate is being strengthened today to guard against the wandering Plain Wolf?"
Xiao Mu nodded, completely unaware of the reason for Li Xianru's anxious look. I only heard Li Xianru's face full of melancholy, and she said in a low voice: "Ying'er and that Liu Bin are far out of the city today. ”
"Nonsense!" Xiao Mu's eyes widened, and he said hurriedly: "Since you know that there are Steppenwolf fleeing, why don't they stop them when they go out of the city!"
Li Xianru raised her forehead and said: "They went out this morning, I just went to look for Ying'er and found that the two children were gone, and I only found out when I asked a few maids." Being yelled at by Xiao Mu like this, she became even more anxious, and asked again: "What should I do now?" Since the prince has arranged for people to guard against the wandering Desert Wolves, why did the people at the city gate easily let them out?"
Xiao Mu tried to calm himself down, and after thinking for a while, he said, "They go out in the morning, maybe the defense at the city gate has not yet been clarified. Madam, you don't have to be too anxious, the Desert Wolf Camp is just passing through the south of Yunzhou, even if there is really a Desert Wolf Camp escaping, it may not be able to cross a hundred miles to Cloud City......" Li Xianru seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and Xiao Mucai continued: "The top priority is to find them back as soon as possible, and this king will send people out of the city." ”
He gave an order to the attendants beside him, and suddenly remembered that Feng Jianbei was still in the city just now, and it was safest for Feng Jianbei to make a move. He hurriedly took steps towards the stairs in front of the city wall, but after talking to Li Xianru for a few words, the empty stairs were already empty, and Feng Jianbei's figure was completely gone.
......
"Be careful! don't hurt it!" Xiao Ying'er's clear voice like a warbler cut through the field.
Liu Binyuan clasped the bowstring to his face, squinting one eye at the elk galloping in the distance. He heard Xiao Ying'er's voice, slowly loosened the bowstring, and put the bow and arrows down.
"Hey, wouldn't it be too boring to shoot an arrow!"
Liu Binyuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Xiao Ying'er clamored to take her to hunt by herself, but when she caught a prey, she relented again. Liu Bin had long expected that she was just trying to be lively, and she really wanted to hunt. Now holding a bow and arrow, I can't shoot, I can't shoot, this eldest lady is really difficult to please. But he smiled again, and continued to pull the reins, keeping a proper distance from the elk at all times.
That's what makes it challenging. Liu Binyuan pulled the string again, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
He adjusted his breathing, and the elk in the distance was clearly aware of the danger, dodging left and right to dodge a few folded lines as they approached the woods. He always aimed it directly in front of his arrow, but he was in no hurry to shoot it.
Seeing that the elk was about to leave the plain and enter the woods in the distance, Liu Binyuan suddenly let go of his fingers. The feathered arrows flew out and shot at the elk.
Xiao Ying'er in the distance had just learned to ride a horse, and there were a few attendants around her, unable to keep up with Liu Binyuan's speed, watching the feather arrows shoot towards the elk, she couldn't help but cover her eyes.
After a while, she didn't hear the elk's terrible scream, so she dared to open her eyes, and was about to joke that Liu Bin's long-range shot missed, but found that the deer seemed to be restrained by something, and it was still in place with all its might, not moving for half a minute. Xiao Ying'er approached curiously, and then a pair of big eyes turned around twice, full of incredulity, and looked at Liu Binyuan nearby.
This is a stag, the huge antlers are like branches that extend to the sides, and Liu Binyuan's feather arrows are just inserted between the branches of the two antlers, and the end of the arrow is inserted in a tree, no matter how the deer struggles, it only swings from side to side, and the scattered antlers can't get around the feather arrows nailed into the trunk of the tree on the top of the head.
Xiao Ying'er laughed and trembled, and gave Liu Binyuan a thumbs up: "I didn't expect you to be so powerful!"
Liu Binyuan proudly raised his eyebrows at Xiao Ying'er, and said with a smile: "That's natural, now you're happy?"
Xiao Ying'er looked down at the trapped elk, rolled off the horse, and wanted to touch it, but suddenly there was a "click", and the feather arrows on the antlers were finally broken by the antlers.
"Alas!" Xiao Ying'er sighed with some regret.
"You scared it away!" Liu Binyuan looked at her little face and quipped, "Don't be upset, how about catching another one for you later?"
Xiao Ying'er swept the dejected look on her face, and said with a smile: "Forget it, you're lucky, if you accidentally hurt them again, I can't see blood." ”
Liu Binyuan was stunned for a moment, and shook his head with a smile. He thought that Xiao Ying'er was deliberately making things difficult for him, but he didn't expect that he really couldn't bear to hurt the elk, and he couldn't see the blood and was clamoring to go out to hunt, he was really an idle master.
A few days ago, Xiao Mu and Feng Jianbei were busy dealing with Dongliu City in the east, and Xiao Yizhan was still in Fang Hui's hands, so between Yunzhou and Qingzhou, the two sides fought frequently.
It's just that in recent days, the desert wolf battalion of Shajiang City has rushed from west to east, and both sides of Dongliucheng and Yunzhou are obviously quite afraid of this so-called "Longyuan First Army", and they have invariably withdrawn their troops, huddled only a few miles outside the city, and quietly waited for the arrival of the desert wolf battalion. Both sides seem to be waiting and seeing, which side the Desert Wolf Camp Sword Blade is referring to.
Liu Binyuan had only heard of the Desert Wolf Camp, but when he saw everyone's waiting formation, he had to be on guard. Fortunately, yesterday, the scouts in the south came with the news that more than 10,000 desert wolf battalions in Shajiang City passed by the south of Yunzhou and drove to Dongliu City in Qingzhou. The entire city in the clouds breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Binyuan was also light, and he had been shrinking in the city for a long time, so he thought about coming out to hunt. Yunzhou is flat, but it is also a good place for hunting, Xiao Ying'er is also bored, clamoring to come out together.
Looking at Xiao Ying'er's meaning, I'm afraid this hunt won't be able to continue. But the strange thing is that Liu Binyuan is happy to mess around with Xiao Ying'er, and she is not frustrated when she can't hunt, and she gives herself all kinds of problems.
While thinking so, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hung an arc, and he slowly rode his horse closer to Xiao Ying'er.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of something at the edge of the woods, pale yellow hair, on all fours, with a stout body, almost the size of a calf, with its head down, as if gnawing on something on the ground.
Liu Binyuan thought of something terrible, his face suddenly turned a little pale, and he hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse and stopped. Xiao Ying'er noticed his abnormal face, tilted her head and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you?"
Liu Binyuan was about to speak, when the monster suddenly looked in the direction of their group. Liu Binyuan finally saw that this beast the size of a calf was a wolf, which seemed to be biting some prey before, and now the hair near the mouth was dyed blood red, which was even more hideous.
Its limbs were slightly bent, its lips were slightly turned up, as if it had wrinkled its nose, revealing its sharp teeth, and slowly approached the direction of Xiao Ying'er and the others, ready to attack. The guards beside Xiao Ying'er also noticed it, and hurriedly shouted, "Miss, beware ......"
As soon as his words came out of his throat, the wolf leaped violently, and the open wolf mouth bit down on the man's throat in the blink of an eye. Xiao Ying'er only heard a muffled snort, and some liquid spilled on herself. She turned her head, a bloody mouth in front of her eyes, she panicked, and quickly took a few steps back in a scream, and fell to the ground before taking a few steps back.
"Steppenwolf!" the attendants finally reacted, their voices shouting in alarm.
Another guard, who followed Xiao Ying'er closely, pulled out his blade in a panic and slashed at the Plain Wolf. But before his blade landed on the Steppenwolf, the Steppenwolf's minions had pierced his abdomen, and organs and blood flowed out in a stream.
Xiao Ying'er was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she couldn't cry, she was just frightened and didn't dare to move. The Steppenwolf did not feast on the two corpses lying on the ground, but bowed slightly and pounced on Xiao Ying'er again.
A feathered arrow pierced the sky and stuck right in the Plainwolf. Liu Binyuan, who was riding a horse in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and his legs clamped the horse's belly, urging it to approach quickly.
The Steppenwolf just rolled on the ground and stood up steadily, its nose wrinkled, its scarlet eyes shining fiercely. The feathered arrow only had an arrow that sank into the yellow-white fur of the Steppenwolf, and only a slight trace of blood oozed out, which obviously didn't have much effect. Liu Binyuan only felt that his heart was pounding, as if he was about to jump out. The horse under his crotch also felt the cold breath emitted from the wolf's body, braked uneasily, and suddenly stood up with a long neigh.
The Steppenwolf shot out like an arrow and disappeared under the horse. Liu Binyuan only felt that the horse under his crotch struggled desperately for a moment, and then fell sideways and threw him out.
Liu Binyuan rolled on the ground a few times, only to feel dizzy, and in a trance he caught a glimpse of the desert wolf approaching at great speed.
This beast is quite difficult! Liu Binyuan scolded, propped up on the ground with one hand, half-knelt to stabilize his figure, and pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver with the other hand, but he didn't have time to take off the bow on his chest, took it directly in his hand, and stabbed it fiercely towards the Plain Wolf.
