The Zhaizi Mountain was covered with heavy snow, and the white expanse on the mountain seemed to be covered with a snow-white coat.

Xiao Chen and Ling Hujin braved the snow to move forward, and in the ankle-deep snow, the two of them were like two dervishes who were struggling. Behind him, the iron armor was strong, and he followed behind him without hurrying.

After walking for more than half a mile, the two of them were almost at the top of the mountain, but they didn't see half of the prey along the way.

Ling Hu Jin, who was already a little tired, sat on the ground angrily: "The county lord is not leaving." ”

Xiao Chen stopped and turned his head and smiled, "What?" Didn't you still look in high spirits just now, and now you can't walk? ”

Ling Hu Jin said unhappily: "I haven't seen half of the prey, and I'm in no mood." ”

Turning his head to look at the huge team behind him, Xiao Chen shook his head and said: "Hunting is a matter that requires patience, and the emphasis is on a person who is waiting for the opportunity to take so many people, so it is strange to be able to meet the prey." ”

Hearing this, Ling Hu Jin turned his head and looked at the guards behind him: "This county lord orders you not to follow me anymore." ”

The two leading soldiers glanced at each other, and their faces showed a touch of embarrassment.

One person arched his hand at Ling Hu Jin and said: "County Lord, the prince has issued a death order, and he wants us to follow the county lord and the prince every step of the way, we ......"

"What? Now the words of the county lord are not good, are they? Ling Hu Jin asked coldly.

Hearing this, the two knelt down together: "The military order is in hand, and the last general begs the county lord for forgiveness." ”

"You guys!" Looking at the soldiers kneeling on the ground in front of him, Hu Jin was furious, but he had no way to vent.

The old man surnamed Xu on the side, Sang Lao's eyes, turned slightly, and then he opened his mouth and admonished: "That's it, the county lord's wedding is imminent, and you can't spoil the county lord's Yaxing, I also know that you are carrying military orders, and it is not easy to disobey, so it is better to let the old man accompany the county lord into the mountains to hunt." What does the general think? ”

The status of the old man surnamed Xu in the palace of the king of the west is obviously not low, and as soon as the old man spoke, the embarrassment on the faces of the two soldiers deepened.

"Old man Xu, you said so, we should have obeyed, but we just ......" The two of them glanced at Xiao Chen on the side, and stopped talking.

The old man smiled knowingly and said lightly: "Don't worry, although the old man is old, these eyes are sharp, and he will never let anyone or anything get close to the county lord and the prince, and will never let the county lord and the prince get out of the old man's sight." ”

The two of them were entangled for a moment when they heard this, and finally nodded lightly and said, "Since the old man has said so, then I will stay on the mountainside, and if there is any movement, we will go up the mountain immediately." ”

Nodding with a chuckle, the old man looked at Ling Hujin and said, "County Lord, do you see that the old man has arranged it like this, is it appropriate?" ”

A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but Ling Hu Jin nodded lightly and said, "Then so be it." ”

"Huh!" The old man looked at Xiao Chen with a smile and said, "In this way, it will be troublesome for the prince to lead the way." ”

Xiao Chen smiled lightly and continued to walk towards the mountain.

The further up the mountain, the deeper the snow became, and for Ling Hujin, who didn't know anything about martial arts, walking became a huge difficulty.

But the girl still gritted her teeth and followed Xiao Chen step by step, for fear of being looked down upon by the former.

The movement of the three of them up the mountain was much smaller, and soon Xiao Chen found fresh goat footprints on the snow, and followed the footprints all the way, Xiao Chen finally saw a goat foraging not far away.

Perhaps it was the first time he saw a living prey, which made Hu Jin more excited than Xiao Chen, and he forgot about the fatigue on his body for a while, and quietly walked to Xiao Chen's side and whispered:

"Can you let me come?"

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, and handed the bow and arrow in his hand to Ling Hujin.

With arrows and bows, the girl's expression was extremely serious.

"Buzz!"

With a buzzing sound, arrows flew out......

The arrow sliced through the void and landed steadily on a stake next to the goat. The frightened goat turned around and ran, but luckily a second arrow was heard in the air.

It turned out that the old man surnamed Xu on the side made a move, and an arrow pierced the wind and snow, and then the arrow landed firmly on the goat, but the goat struggled to disappear into the snow with the arrow, leaving a line of bright red blood along the way.

Looking at the empty snow, Ling Hu Jin said with a lost face: "I missed." ”

Xiao Chen chuckled and comforted: "Even when skilled hunters miss, it's good that you can do this for the first time in hunting, besides, our hunt is not over yet, the prey has been hit by an arrow, and it can't run far." ”

Saying that, Xiao Chen glanced at the old man behind him, and the old man also took over the conversation at the right time and said, "Yes, county lord, this tracking of injured prey is also a lesson in hunting." ”

"Really?" Ling Hu Jin was skeptical.

Xiao Chen and the old man nodded one after another, and when they heard this, Ling Hu Jin regained his confidence and took the lead in chasing in the direction of the bloodstains.

The little girl ran fast, even if she occasionally fell, she didn't care, and she had the strength to not give up until she caught up with her prey.

But no matter how fast she is, she can't be faster than the two martial artists behind her who are above the first grade.

Xiao Chen and the old man tacitly followed at a distance of seven or eight meters away from Ling Hu Jin, ensuring Ling Hu Jin's safety.

Suddenly, the old man walking side by side spoke: "Now that there are no thousands of guards, but the prince has a great opportunity to escape, and the prince doesn't plan to fight for it?" ”

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, and then met the old man's blazing gaze.

Smiling slightly, Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "I don't want to be like that goat, being attacked by you." ”

The old man's gaze suddenly became vicissitudes, and he looked at Ling Hujin, who was chasing after him, and said: "The county lord is a good girl, it's a pity that it's ......."

Glancing at Xiao Chen, the old man said coldly: "It's a pity that I met such a wanderer like you, if it weren't for the scruples of the county lord, the old man really wanted to slap you to death here with one palm." ”

Xiao Chen smiled embarrassedly: "In this way, I owe the county lord a life." ”

The old man didn't talk, but said to himself: "Actually, when the county lord brought you to hunt, I probably guessed that she deliberately let you go." ”

Xiao Chen glanced at the old man deeply: "If that's the case, what about the seniors, will the seniors let me go?" ”

A flash of remembrance flashed in the old man's eyes, and he seemed to have fallen into some kind of memory, and only after a long time did he say: "The county lord's mother has a life-saving grace to me, and the old man owes the county lord all his life." If she really wants to let you go, you can go. ”

Xiao Chen was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the old man was willing to disobey Ling Hu Chu's order for Ling Hu Jin.

But after a while, Xiao Chen shook his head with a smile: "It's a pity that I can't go." ”

This time it was the old man's turn to be a little surprised: "Why? ”

Xiao Chen looked in the direction of Manshenzhou and muttered, "My friend is still in the palace. ”

The old man's eyes narrowed: "Are you talking about that woman?" ”

"No!" Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head: "It's everyone who is with me!" ”
