Chapter 32: The Secret of the Black Hawk
Xiao Heng swung his sword and cut off the heads of one wolf after another, and Su Ling also stabbed one by one the vicious wolves that pounced on her, but the strength of the two was limited, and the number of wolves was large. Xiao Heng soon lost his strength, and the wild wolf took the opportunity to pounce on him and bite his thigh, Xiao Heng struggled to get rid of the wolf, but the wolf refused to let go.
Su Ling immediately stabbed it in the throat with a short blade, and the wolf whimpered before releasing its mouth.
"Thank you." Xiao Heng looked at Su Ling gratefully.
"Thank you when you get out, Your Highness." Su Ling's eyes were firm, staring intently at the wolves who wanted to attack at any time.
Xiao Yan hurried to the two of them, and directly drew an arrow and shot at the wolves. Onlookers also noticed the riot here, and Xiao Guangji saw that Xiao Heng and Su Ling were trapped, so he hurriedly asked people to help.
Jiang Duanchen saw that Xiao Heng and the young man behind him were trapped among the wolves, and immediately went to support him.
Xiao Yan shot off the wolves with arrows to open a way, then jumped off the horse and came to Xiao Heng's side.
While continuing to shoot arrows to force back the wolves, he said to Xiao Heng: "Third child, you go quickly, I will help you stop it here." ”
Xiao Heng looked at Xiao Yan's horse, glanced at Su Ling, and said to Xiao Yan with a worried expression: "Brother Huang, you must be careful. ”
"Don't worry." Xiao Yan gave him an affirmative look.
Xiao Heng saw that others were also coming to support, so he asked Su Ling to help him get on his horse and prepare to leave.
When Jiang Duanchen arrived, he saw that Xiao Heng and the young man were both injured, frowned, and without looking at them carefully, he instructed, "Your Highness, this is handed over to us." ”
Then he joined Xiao Yan and shot arrows at the wolves with him.
Su Ling looked at Jiang Duanchen's back as he left, and he didn't have time to recognize him. Xiao Heng was bleeding from the place where he was bitten by a wolf for the sake of her.
If you don't heal, I'm afraid you'll lose too much blood and die.
Su Ling resolutely pushed Xiao Heng onto the horse, jumped up himself, grabbed the reins with one hand, and drove away.
Xiao Heng's complexion began to turn pale due to blood loss, and he gradually lost consciousness and lay in Su Ling's arms.
Su Ling anxiously comforted him, "Your Highness hold on, don't sleep." ”
The imperial doctor who was sent by Xiao Guangji immediately picked up Xiao Heng, who Su Ling brought back, and sent him back to the palace, Su Ling looked back at Jiang Duanchen, who was still in the middle of the wolves, and his eyes were full of worry.
"Little brother, your arm is also injured, go back to the palace with the old man." Imperial Physician Zhang Ji noticed Su Ling's injury and stepped forward to ask.
Su Ling looked down at his injury, and then looked at Xiao Heng who was in a coma, so he thanked Zhang Ji: "Then there is Imperial Doctor Lao." ”
After that, she was sent back to the palace with Xiao Heng for treatment.
On the wolf pack's side, Jiang Duanchen and Xiao Yan cooperated tacitly, and soon wiped out the wolves. The rest of the people who rushed to help looked at the wolf corpses all over the ground, and they all flattered: "It's really thanks to the presence of His Highness and the national teacher, otherwise I don't know what kind of fork will go wrong." ”
Jiang Duance was disgusted with those ministers who were in disobedience to the yang and the yin, but what he was thinking about was the young man he had just met in a hurry. For some reason, he seemed to notice that the young man was looking at him with a strange feeling.
"Master Jiang is fine." After Xiao Yan finished greeting the ministers, he came to inquire about Jiang Duanchen's situation.
Jiang Duanchen saluted him and said, "It's okay." ”
Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, put the bow on his shoulder, and said with a serious expression: "Just now, when Brother Su was attacked by the Black Eagle, I heard a whistle from the distant mountain, and after the Black Eagle attacked, it also flew there, I suspect that someone did it on purpose." ”
Brother Su?
Jiang Duanchen caught this word, "Brother Su is?" ”
"It's the little brother who was next to the third brother just now, named Su Zisheng, and the third said that his riding and archery skills are very high, so he brought it. I've just seen it, and it's really amazing. Xiao Yan thought that Su Ling was not afraid of danger, he could shoot two arrows with one bow, and both of them hit the prey, and he could still be fearless when he was attacked by black eagles and wolves, he admired Su Ling a little.
When Jiang Duanchen heard the name Su Zisheng, he thought of Su Ling's younger brother, and Nie Yunhua said that Xiao Heng took Su Ling away, and just now he deliberately blocked in front of the young man, so that he didn't see her face clearly, thinking about it like this, Su Zisheng was Su Ling pretending.
He didn't understand why Su Ling was doing this, and when would she ride and shoot?
"Master Jiang?" Xiao Yan saw that Jiang Duanchen did not respond to him, and called out again. Jiang Duanchen came back to his senses and said, "You said someone did it on purpose? ”
Xiao Yan nodded, suggesting that he stay away from the conversation.
The two of them stayed away from the crowd, and the rest of the people were busy carrying back the wolf they had shot and were not paying any attention to their whereabouts.
Xiao Yan took Jiang Duanchen and walked in the direction of Black Eagle's departure, "This matter is very strange, in the royal hunting ground, someone actually did such a thing, does Lord Jiang intend to find out the person behind this with me?" ”
Jiang Duanchen immediately thought of Nie Yunhua, the Black Eagle did not attack others, but only attacked Su Ling, and Su Ling's existence could only be a thorn in Nie Yunhua's side.
"I think Your Highness is right, then let's go and see who is doing the ghost." If he is allowed to catch evidence to prove that it is Nie Yunhua, he will definitely settle the old and new accounts together.
The two of them walked towards the deep mountain, and the black eagle was injured and dripped blood all the way. The two of them soon followed the trail of blood and found the body of the Black Eagle by a mountain spring.
The Black Hawk's fur was particularly smooth, as if it had been carefully fed, and at its ankle was tied a fine satin of a dark color, a fabric of which only the nobles could afford.
It seems that the Black Hawk innocent attack was indeed man-made.
Xiao Yan was puzzled: "Who wants to do this?" Jiang Duanchen didn't say a word, if the target of the Black Eagle's attack was aimless, it was indeed difficult to check, but it only attacked Su Ling, and it was also tied with this special fabric of silk, then Nie Yunhua's suspicion was even greater.
Because Xiao Yan was the son of Nie Yunhua, Jiang Duanchen did not say what he thought, but uncovered the silk on the corpse of the black eagle and said to Xiao Yan: "Such a trivial matter, just let the ministers come to investigate, Your Highness is frightened today, go back to the palace as soon as possible, and by the way, see how the Third Highness's injuries are." ”
Jiang Duanchen got up to leave, Xiao Yan recalled Su Ling's appearance behind him, he really should go and see how the injuries of the third child and Su Ling were.
When he was about to leave, he found a bamboo whistle floating by the water's edge, with the word "Nie" engraved on it.
Xiao Yan's eyes widened suddenly, his hand held the bamboo whistle tightly, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Xiao Yan watched Jiang Duanchen walk away, quickly hid the bamboo whistle in his sleeve, and then walked back to the hunting ground as if nothing happened.
Jiang Duanchen walked out of the deep mountains, took a horse by the hand, and ran towards the palace. Lord Song, who had been robbed of his horse, shouted loudly behind him, "Hey? Master Jiang! What's wrong with you!"
"Drive!" Jiang Duanchen held back his anger and left the hunting ground with a solemn face, even Xiao Guangji couldn't stop him when he called him.
Xiao Guangji looked at Jiang Duanchen's anxious appearance, and said suspiciously: "This Jiang Duanchen, is he so flustered when he encounters something, Gu has never seen him like this." ”
Rong Hongliang next to him replied: "Maybe there is something important that didn't notice Your Majesty, Your Majesty don't be angry, I heard that His Royal Highness and Prime Minister Jiang Cheng teamed up to shoot and kill the wolves that attacked the Third Highness, and everyone has already brought back the prey, and this Great Highness is really powerful." ”
Xiao Guangji pondered: "It's really good, it seems that Lone is underestimating my son, by the way, how is the third child's injury?" ”
"I have quickly told the palace to try its best to save His Highness, His Highness will be blessed with all the heavens, and he will definitely be fine." Rong Hongliang said soothingly.
Xiao Guangji frowned, "Winter hunting happens every year, why is it so weird today?" I see that those prey are attacking the young man next to the third child, could it be that he is some kind of ominous person? ”
Rong Hongliang immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, if he is really an ominous person, then Wan Wan Na can't let His Royal Highness get close to him." ”
Xiao Guangji leaned on the chair, looked at Rong Hongliang with low eyebrows, and the corners of his lips hooked up a meaningful smile, "Those who know me, Rong Hongliang also." ”
Rong Hongliang looked at Xiao Guangji with a smile, "The slave will go and investigate clearly." ”
