Chapter 286: Scared Silly
The autumn hunt officially began, and everyone was in a surging mood watching from the side, and they had long wanted to ride horses and shoot arrows in person, but now when they heard the emperor's words, everyone who was originally sitting around to watch the competition between Shen Ling and Xiao Qianqian got up and went into the mountain autumn hunting.
Jing Xi naturally followed Shen Ling into the mountain, and the emperor who was sitting in the position saw the figures of the two disappear, got up and walked into the camp.
The tent was empty, but the emperor suddenly spoke, "I, I don't want to see Shen Ling come out of the mountain alive."
"My subordinates understand." A man's voice rang out, and then a dark shadow flashed out of the account.
Shen Ling and Jing Ci were riding on horses, and at first there were some other adults and ladies who went into the mountains to hunt, but as Shen Ling and Jing Ci went deeper and deeper, there were no more people around them, only the two of them remained.
The jungle was secluded, full of tall trees, and no one knew what was hidden behind them.
Jing Xi followed Shen Ling all the way, and suddenly heard a noise around him, and immediately became alert.
Because the emperor also came to hunt in the autumn, there were no large animals in the hunting grounds here, and this kind of animal that would be dangerous to the emperor would be cleared by specific officials before the autumn hunt began.
However, Shen Ling looked at the huge movement of the trees shaking in front of him, and it was obviously not the prey that existed in the mountains.
Jing Xi silently put the bowstring on the bow, and the next moment he went to the woods and shook more violently, and suddenly a figure came out, accompanied by a deep male voice.
"Ling'er, you wait for me."
It's Song Linyuan.
Jing Ci frowned slightly, and put away the arrows that almost fell off the bow, but he didn't have a good face for Song Linyuan.
Seeing that there was no danger, Shen Ling didn't take Song Linyuan to see it at all, and said to Jing Xi, "Let's go."
The two turned their horses' heads around and were about to leave.
Seeing this, Song Linyuan hurriedly rode his horse to follow, and called affectionately, "Ling'er."
Jing Ci lowered his face coldly and blocked Song Linyuan, "Ling'er is my wife, please stay away from my wife."
Seeing that Shen Ling was blocked by Jing Xi, Song Linyuan's face darkened, "This forest is so big, I can't care about you where this son wants to go."
Jing Xi squinted at Song Linyuan, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "I heard that Lord Xiao and the prince have had a marriage contract since childhood, and the prince did not accompany the future lady of the county lord Xiao but came to chase my wife, I wonder how Lord Xiao will feel when he finds out?"
Song Linyuan frowned, Jing Ci now mentioned Xiao Qianqian in front of Shen Ling, obviously wanting to make trouble for him, and made Shen Ling hate him.
"This son has nothing to do with Xiao Qianqian's woman, although Lord Xiao is an elder, he is not a family member of this son, and he cannot make decisions about the marriage of this son."
Jing Xi pretended to nod his head, "That's right, after all, the national teacher remembered that the prince had pampered a beggar when he was in Muyang County, but he didn't tell Lord Xiao about it."
Hearing Shen Ling mention the beggar, Song Linyuan's stomach churned, and he felt nauseous.
But even at this time, Song Linyuan has not forgotten to show loyalty to Shen Ling, "There is only Ling'er in the heart of this son, and that beggar is just disguised, which makes this son mistakenly think that it is Ling'er."
Seeing that Song Linyuan fell into the trap, the corners of Jing Xi's lips hooked a sarcastic arc, "Since you keep saying that you like Ling'er, why didn't you even find out that person was disguised, it can be seen that you don't know Ling'er, so don't leave Ling'er's side quickly."
Song Linyuan finally caught up with Shen Ling, and naturally he was reluctant to leave, and the three of them walked together, but along the way, Jing Ci and Song Linyuan kept talking, and the two of them were yin and yang, and no one refused to back down.
Shen Ling was speechless and moved away from the two vinegar jars, and saw a fox with a smooth coat and a red body appear in front of him.
Her lips curled, and she silently drew an arrow and placed it on the bowstring.
But Shen Ling pulled up the bowstring and was about to start, but there was a sound of breaking the air, and the red fox was frightened away.
Another meteor-like arrow shot towards Shen Ling, Shen Ling's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately turned around and shot towards the incoming bow and arrow, breaking the shot arrow in half.
Jing Xi, who was still arguing with Song Linyuan, reacted the fastest and arrived as soon as possible
Shen Ling's side.
Song Linyuan's face sank, and he flew off his horse and attacked the black-clothed man who suddenly appeared and shot arrows at Shen Ling, and the two quickly became entangled.
The change happened in an instant, and more masked dead suddenly poured out of the forest, which was originally only three people.
They slashed at the three of them with their swords in hand.
However, compared with Jing Ci and Song Linyuan's side who were just blocking the man in black, Shen Ling found that the man in black who was opposite him wanted to kill her.
Seeing that the other party's target was himself, Shen Ling's eyes darkened, and without hesitation, he threw out the Gu worm, pulled out the jade flute on his waist and blew it.
After the insect landed, it was manipulated by Shen Ling to quickly crawl towards the man in black, even though the man in black was on guard, but many people were still bitten by the inconspicuous and dense Gu worms and burrowed into the flesh.
The poisonous effect of the Gu worm was very fast, and a large number of people immediately fell to the ground, and their lives and deaths were unknown.
Although Song Linyuan had already known that Shen Ling was good at poisonous Gu, and could even manipulate the dead with Gu worms, this was the first time he had seen Shen Ling use poisonous Gu.
Seeing Shen Ling's strange methods, he knocked down a large number of people as soon as he made a move, Song Linyuan not only did not dislike Shen Ling, but appreciated it even more.
The three of them were attacked and retreated towards the periphery, and after a while, the three of them retreated to the place where they started, and the remaining few men in black were nowhere to be found.
When the emperor saw Shen Ling emerge from the forest, his face stiffened, and his fingers on the back of the tiger skin chair couldn't help but clench a lot.
Xiao Qianqian originally lost to Shen Ling, she was in a bad mood, and she didn't go into the mountains to hunt, but at this moment, seeing that Shen Ling was empty-handed and had no prey on horseback, she couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, the lord of this county said that it was a fluke that you hit the target during the bow and arrow competition, otherwise how could you not have hunted anything."
Shen Ling had just been assassinated, and she was in a very unhappy mood, but now when she saw Xiao Qianqian coming to provoke, her cold eyes narrowed slightly, and she immediately raised her bow and arrow to aim at Xiao Qianqian.
Xiao Qianqian never thought that Shen Ling would dare to kill her in public, her head was blank, and she immediately squatted down with a frightened exclamation, and at the same time as she squatted down, an arrow shot over her head with a whistling wind.
A rather small bird fell from above Xiao Qianqian's head, and smashed Xiao Qianqian before falling to the ground.
The blood stains on the bird's body fell on the top of Xiao Qianqian's head and dripped down Xiao Qianqian's forehead, Xiao Qianqian only felt that her eyes were blood-red, and she was directly scared stupid.
She stared blankly at the dead bird in front of her, and did not get up for a long time.
After giving Ma Wei a foot, Shen Ling didn't pay attention to Xiao Qianqian, her eyes swept over the audience, and she stayed on the stiff face of the emperor for a long time.
