Chapter 171: Lone gives you a good chance to get ahead
Princess Changling jumped into the water in full view of everyone, and the guards went into the water to salvage, only picked up Princess Changling's clothes, and the person was not in the pool above, it must have fallen into the deep pool below, and there was a giant snake in the deep pool, everyone knew it, and no one dared to go down.
Even the waterhole did not dare to approach, there are many small snakes near the waterhole, and the colors are colorful, with highly venomous snakes.
They lit the torches and watched from afar, but they didn't see any movement in the deep pool.
At this moment, Hai Dongqing's hovering came, and the high cry attracted everyone to look up, and at the same time, someone dragged Princess Changling into the waterhole above, and at the bottom of the waterhole held Princess Changling, who was powerless to struggle but kept shedding tears.
Looking down, she was like a wave floating down, Hai Dongqing's cry not only attracted everyone's attention, but the giant snake that loved to hold grudges also shook its head out of the waterhole angrily, and the little snake by the waterhole also became extremely irritable.
Hai Dongqing hovered at a high place and kept screaming, its voice made the giant snake extremely angry, even if it stretched its body to the highest, it couldn't reach Hai Dongqing, Hai Dongqing also deliberately flew to tease it with evil taste, and several times he didn't touch Hai Dongqing, and the frightened guards began to shoot arrows to attack the giant snake, causing the giant snake to be furious.
With a sweep of its tail, it set off a huge wave accompanied by a small snake that flew up, and flew towards the surrounding guards, many of whom could not retreat, were bitten, and soon fell down a lot, successfully scaring all the guards away.
"It's the fourth princess, it's the fourth princess!"
At this moment, Princess Changling fell down from above along the current, and the enraged giant snake immediately tore it over, and everyone saw Princess Changling being bitten by the giant snake, blood splattered, and was thrown on top of the pool.
It seemed to warn everyone that the giant snake brutally bit and swallowed Princess Changling, and this scene made everyone tremble and their hands and feet weakened.
It happened that at this time, Emperor Youning came with people on horseback, and was stopped at a safe distance, and Emperor Youning's face was covered with frost: "What about Changling?" ”
There was silence all around, and no one came back to their senses.
Emperor Youning was even more angry: "What about Changling! ”
The leader of the guards came back to his senses, and ran over tremblingly and knelt in front of Emperor Youning: "Your Majesty...... Princess, she was swallowed by a serpent......"
They didn't dare to say that Princess Changling was found and fell by them in the waterhole above, otherwise they would have to be buried together, which could only make His Majesty think that they couldn't catch up with the water, and when they arrived here, the princess had fallen into the mouth of the giant snake.
Xiao Huayong also talked about their reactions, so he would do this, otherwise he would not have time to give Changling medicine at all, and the last step left was to cover up the poison in Changling's body.
"Liu Sanzhi, you personally ordered Li Jin to lead 3,000 people into the hunting ground to kill snakes!" Emperor Youning took out the token and handed it to Liu Sanzhi.
All the princes, except for the crown prince who was seriously ill and vomited blood, all came with His Majesty, and the Twelfth Prince Xiao Changgeng quickly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty is angry because of the fourth sister, and it is not a good strategy to attack it. ”
Emperor Youning's sharp gaze fell on Xiao Changgeng through the night.
Xiao Changgeng's heart trembled, he had just received the emperor's silent anger for the first time, as if he would say one more word, his life would be lost, but thinking of that person's advice, Xiao Changgeng's heart was crossed: "Your Majesty, the man serves, defends the family and the country, is iron-clad, for the peace of the mountains and rivers, and sheds blood for the peace of the society is loyal and brave, and he is a well-deserved death, and he should not die in vain." ”
When Xiao Changgeng said this, the screams rose and fell one after another, Emperor Youning and the others looked over, and saw that the giant snake was enraged, and most of its body leaned out of the deep pool, and began to bite the guards, no one guard has its speed and strength, and with a flick of its body, it can lift off a lot of guards, and the guards threw it into the air and smashed it down, basically spitting blood and dying.
"Tell me about your good plan!" Emperor Youning asked in a deep voice.
Xiao Changgeng's eyes were certain: "Poisoning." ”
The princes looked at each other, and before Emperor Youning could ask in detail, he heard someone shouting: "Your Majesty, leave quickly-"
It turned out that the giant snake's entire body was out of the deep pool, and when everyone saw this, they didn't care about it, and immediately turned the horse's head and escorted Emperor Youning to evacuate.
Xiao Changgeng rode his horse and followed His Majesty while saying loudly: "Your Majesty, the giant snake must not be provoked again, please order Your Majesty to retreat, otherwise the giant snake will definitely pursue!" ”
Such a giant snake, if it is chased to the palace, it will inevitably be ruined.
This is the result that Xiao Huayong expected early on, the giant snake can't be attacked, because it can't be killed for a while, once it is provoked, and it can't be killed, it is likely that everyone will die in vain.
"Liu Sanzhi, let everyone retreat!" Emperor Youning turned around and pointed to Liu San.
Liu Sanzhi immediately conveyed the emperor's order, everyone quickly evacuated, and the giant snake also pursued for a distance, this time it was determined to retaliate, Xiao Huayong watched them flee in embarrassment for a moment from a high place, and it was not far from the palace, and then the bone whistle was blown.
Hai Dongqing, who got the order, spread his wings and flew over to intercept the giant snake, Hai Dongqing was extremely fast, and the attack was fierce and sensitive, the giant snake did not have the strength to fight at all, and was forced back into the deep pool by Hai Dongqing.
Hai Dongqing circled a few times above the deep pool, and then craned his neck and soared into the sky.
"Your Majesty's destiny is returned, and there are divine birds to protect you." Everyone was apprehensive and embarrassed, and Liu Sanzhi immediately encouraged morale.
Everyone showed a look of awe, Xiao Changgeng lowered his eyes, now he lives in the East Palace, and this time he can accompany him to the hunting grounds, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought him here, so he also lives in the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince.
An hour ago, Xiao Huayong appeared in front of him, and on the raised arm of His Royal Highness the Prince, there was Hai Dongqing, who was a divine horse.
"Lone gives you a good chance to get ahead, as long as it happens, you will definitely be treated differently by His Majesty, which is also a great achievement." Xiao Huayong's voice was clear and low, in the night, like a dead leaf falling with the wind, carelessly, and revealing the coldness and solemnity of late autumn.
Xiao Huayong did not hide it in front of Xiao Changgeng at all, and even let him come and go freely in the East Palace, including Xiao Huayong's library in the East Palace, he saw those books, Xiao Huayong's annotations on the books, and he was respectful and afraid of Xiao Huayong.
This prince's elder brother is a person who is more and more intimidating the more he understands, and he thoroughly understands why the sixth brother would choose to flee the imperial city far away after knowing his true face. For a moment, he wanted to run away.
In this imperial city, there is a person like Xiao Huayong, like an invisible knife hanging over the head, which will fall silently at any time.
If he is in a good mood, he can still give him a good time, if he is in a bad mood, this knife will hurt into the bone marrow and become a waste person and will not die!
"Seventh brother, please command." Xiao Changgeng was very respectful.
