Chapter 187: The Tiger Descends the Mountain
The place of hunting is on the edge of the Qinling Mountains, in a forest.
This is not a garden, but a barren mountain range, there may be wild beasts infested, there is a certain danger, Bai Zhong didn't dare to be careless after looking around, let Yueli and the five of them follow Zhou Yu and the three girls.
Although Zhou Yu and Bai Lan have both practiced the elixir of life, they have no actual combat experience and cannot deal with fierce beasts.
It's just that the three of them deliberately walked together, letting Yingshu follow Bai Zhong, and the feeling of matchmaking was obvious.
Yingshu was still a little embarrassed, but when she saw Dan'er and Yu'er's hints, she mustered up the courage to follow Bai Zhong in the mountains and forests, pretending to be a nobody.
Yueli and the five guards taught Lan'er and Yu'er how to hunt with bows.
Some of the house slaves brought by Qin Qing went into the mountains and forests, drove out those pheasants, rabbits and other small animals, and provided them to their masters for hunting and fun.
After a while, the woods became more and more lively.
But the excitement is all theirs, and Bai Zhong and Ying Shu are getting farther and farther away.
"Does the king really say that?"
Bai Zhong took the initiative to open the topic and couldn't help but ask first.
If it was Ying Zheng's edict, he would not be able to refuse, and he could also think of the reason why Ying Zheng did this, first of all, he wanted to repay himself, such as teaching the secret of longevity, and it was Handan's sacrifice to save him.
Secondly, it is also a kind of wooing by Ying Zheng to Bai Zhong, and it can also be said that after marriage, it becomes a family to better buy people's hearts.
Although Ying Zheng trusts Bai Zhong now, he is also an outsider, and it is more trustworthy to become his own talent.
Bai Zhong has a lot of secrets, and his abilities are also extremely strong.
Although Ying Zheng is very grateful for Bai Zhong's dedication, he will inevitably worry that in the future, as a king, he will naturally think a lot, and sometimes marriage is a good means.
"Yes!"
Ying Shu nodded slightly.
Bai Zhong asked again, "What do you think?" ”
"Do I dare to disobey the king's orders?"
Yingshu could refuse, but she was reluctant to refuse, and said, "Will you refuse?" ”
Bai Zhong spread his hands: "You don't dare, do I dare?" ”
The implication is that he will agree.
Ying Shu's heartbeat was inexplicably fast, and two red clouds slowly climbed on her face, and she rode her horse and continued to walk forward, as if she was too shy to know how to speak.
As a woman, she didn't know how to deal with these things.
Bai Zhong also didn't know how to deal with it, he was still a single dog before the crossing, after the crossing, he and Zhou Yu were childhood sweethearts, everything was logical, now thinking of Zhou Yu, he felt guilty again, and said a few days ago that only Zhou Yu alone was enough.
Now slap yourself in the face.
Seeing that Yingshu was far away, he could only follow, and said, "If you don't agree, I will go to see the king tomorrow and push it all away." ”
Anyway, the order hasn't been handed down yet, and there is a lot that can be done at the moment.
"You dare?"
Ying Shu raised her head decisively and looked at Bai Zhong with a light snort.
After finishing speaking, she felt that her reaction was too great, and she accidentally revealed her inner thoughts, and she didn't dare to face Bai Zhong again, so she picked up a bow and rode into the depths of the woods, widening the distance between the two, she had to calm down and no longer be shy.
Bai Zhong didn't continue to chase, asking her to think clearly.
I don't worry that she will be in danger.
If you encounter a wild beast, then it is the wild beast that is in danger.
"Does she really like me? Since when? ”
Bai Zhong looked at the princess's shadow, and wondered in his heart whether it was the first time they met, and he defeated her and conquered her, or did he drink more hot water in the barracks?
Women in this era are still very simple-minded, and sometimes drinking more hot water can really move a woman's mind.
After thinking about it for a long time, Bai Zhong couldn't think of a reason, so he decided to follow and ask clearly, but found that Ying Shu didn't know where to go, so he had no choice but to go back to Zhou Yu and them, but as soon as he turned the direction and walked forward, he saw a wild deer galloping past him quickly.
He took out his bow and arrow, pulled it and released the bowstring, and the arrow hit the deer in the neck, and he fell to the ground and struggled for a moment, and his life came to an end.
In the grass in front, two Qinqing's house slaves quickly walked out and arched their hands: "General." ”
They came here with wild deer.
"General, why are you alone, princess?"
Qin Qing also came later, and asked curiously, "Did the general make the princess angry?" ”
Bai Zhong shook his head and smiled: "Of course not, what about Yu'er and them?" ”
Qin Qing said: "Yu'er, under the protection of Yueli, they went to catch hares, and there are ten domestic slaves from Dan'er's family to protect them, and they are very safe." ”
They had separated from each other and were playing in the mountains.
"Don't bother Madame."
Bai Zhong wanted to find a few of their little girls, and after saying that, he rode his horse to the other side.
But he hadn't gone far when he suddenly heard a house slave shouting, "Madame, go quickly!" ”
Roar!
As soon as the man's shout fell, a tiger roar followed.
Qin Qing saw a big tiger, was rushing towards him, and was immediately frightened, this place has not yet penetrated into the jungle, at most there will only be some wild boars, no one can imagine that there will be tigers coming down the mountain.
She turned to run.
When the house slaves around him saw it, they hurriedly drew their bows to cover it.
But in their panic, their accuracy was completely inaccurate, and more than a dozen arrows could not hit the tiger, and one of the house slaves was knocked down on the spot.
The tiger opened its bloody jaws and was about to end the life of the house slave in one bite.
After Qin Qing escaped a certain distance, he looked back, picked up the bow he hung on his horse, and shot out with an arrow against the tiger.
Although she is a woman and a widow, Qin Qing also has some strength, if she fights with her hands, ordinary people can't get close, but it's just to beat people, and it's not good to fight tigers, so she can only shoot from a distance with bows and arrows.
Sou!
The arrow hits the tiger's front paw.
Roar!
The tiger was about to bite the house slave to death, when he was caught off guard by an arrow, and suddenly looked at Qin Qing with murderous anger, and was about to rush with a roar.
Those house slaves were also dutiful, picking up their swords to block the tiger, but they were all knocked over in an instant and pounced on Qin Qing's side.
Qin Qing rode his horse to escape.
This is a mountainous area, it doesn't matter if you ride a horse and walk, you can't run a little bit, and you are destined to run fast.
Although the horses under the seat were terrified of the tiger and kept neighing, their speed was still limited.
The tiger completely ignored the pain of the wound, and even the arrow was still stuck in it, and the speed of running was not slow at all, and the tiger claw swung hard.
Qin Qing's mount let out a mournful roar and fell to the ground, about to throw the owner off the horse.
The tiger jumped up and opened its mouth to bite Qinqing, who was about to land.
It bites precisely at the position of the neck, and if it is bitten, it will definitely die.
Qin Qing exclaimed, at this time, he felt a tightness in his wrist, as if someone was holding his hand, and the downward trend stagnated for a moment, and then went up.
The tiger's mouth fell into the air, and he could no longer bite Qin Qing.
Qin Qing was saved by a man sitting on a war horse.
Of course, the tiger was not convinced, roared angrily, and pounced on the man, trying to pounce on the horse first, and then bite the two hateful men to death and eat them.
But as soon as it jumped up, a horizontal knife with a scabbard attached to it struck the tiger on the head.
Bang!
The tiger fell to the ground, dizzy.
