Chapter Forty-Seven: Waste Without Riding and Shooting
Dozens of horses galloped into the forest at the same time, and suddenly a group of birds were startled.
Lin Feiwan and Zhao Tingting glanced at each other, and the two of them reined in their horses at the same time, aiming at the birds in the air.
"Whew!"
There was only a sound of breaking the air.
Lin Feiwan's horse suddenly stumbled on the way to draw the bow, and she could only stop.
As soon as the force was loosened, the arrow sank into the grass in front of him.
"Flutter!"
There were a few sneers from behind him.
"Isn't the princess not having a bad eye and taking grass as prey?"
"Eh, what are these words, the princess is considerate of us and prepares forage for our prey in advance, haha......"
The corners of Lin Feiwan's lips hooked slightly, and he glanced at the small pebbles that had just appeared on the ground.
"This matter has been recorded in this palace, and when the hunt is over, the prince will personally send someone to send the forage to your mansion, so you have to work hard, this palace does not like to waste, if there is no prey......"
She swept her eyes coldly, and the few people who were still babbling suddenly became as quiet as chickens.
Zhao Tingting's eyes flashed with a touch of ruthlessness, "The princess has the ability to scare us little women, it is better to practice archery more, save a while and return empty-handed, but the royal face is lost, people will say that the wife of the dignified god of war is a waste who can't ride and shoot, let's go!" ”
The women generally gather in groups of three or five, and do not go into the depths, and rarely bring an entourage.
As soon as they left, coupled with the intention of others to dodge, Lin Feiwan was the only one left while walking.
However, there are signs along the way, so she doesn't have to worry about getting lost.
It's just that......
She looked around and saw that there was no one, and flew to the tree.
Looking around, there was not even a trace of a snow rabbit on this road, which was abnormal.
This hunting zone was arranged in advance by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Before the day of the hunt, the prey is driven to the designated area on horseback and the road is well signposted.
First, it can ensure that people can catch the prey, and secondly, it can also avoid the appearance of some dangerous animals and ensure the safety of nobles.
Suddenly, a white cloud popped out of the grass.
Lin Fei took the bow and pulled it all at night.
Suddenly there was a "bang".
"Hiss......"
The shaft of the arrow was broken, but fortunately she dodged in time and did not hurt the vital point, but her right arm was still cut with blood.
She tore off the hem of her skirt to stop the bleeding, took off the quiver, and looked at the sunlight one by one, and sure enough, there was a small crack in each arrow.
Only then did Zhao Tingting suddenly use the agitation method.
But even without arrows, she can catch her prey.
Outside the forest at this time.
A small yellow door came with a wild goose in his hand.
"Your Majesty, Miss Zhao won today's jackpot."
"It seems that the leader of this session is going to return to the Zhao family again, Cheng Enhou really gave birth to a good daughter, and the women don't let the eyebrows go."
"Where is it, where is it, the emperor has praised it."
Chengenhou replied in a sneering manner, his old face had been lost that night, and the more the emperor praised Zhao Tingting, the more embarrassed he would feel.
Especially when he saw Xue Qianyu's sarcastic appearance, he felt even more embarrassed.
"Father, grandmother, mother, and son-in-law are late."
Xue Chengao, who was dressed in a strong suit, jumped off the horse, his head hung down, and his back was slightly bent, trying to hide his physical discomfort, but he didn't know that the inadvertent reflection of the corners of his forehead had already exposed his situation to everyone's eyes.
Xue Qianye glanced at Queen Cui, and when she saw that she was also nervous, she frowned and said coldly: "You don't rest in the palace, what are you doing in the hunting ground?" ”
Xue Chengao suppressed the dissatisfaction in his eyes and said respectfully: "The son-in-law has almost recovered, please ask for the permission of the emperor." ”
"Enough is enough, don't be strong."
"The retainers obey."
Xue Chengao gritted his teeth and got on the horse, came to the man's gathering place, and saw Xue Chengche surrounded in the middle at a glance.
If he hadn't heard that Xue Chengche had taken the opportunity to lift the ban and was ready to take down the man's head to ask his father for a reward, he wouldn't have gotten up from the hospital bed.
With him, no one can take away the position of the man's leader.
Another trumpet sounded, and the men set off at the same time.
The hunting in the Northern Snow Country is that the women come first, and the men go on the field after a stick of incense.
However, men generally walk deep and have a lot of prey, and usually bring several guards, one to protect safety, and the other to help pick up prey.
Xue Chengao took the lead and went straight to the depths, knowing that he was arrogant and domineering, except for a few official children who often slipped around him, the rest were far away.
Xue Chengche was also surrounded by several official children, but he was unhurried, not like he came to hunt, but like he came for a walk.
"Little thing, don't run!"
Lin Feiwan's body was like a swimming dragon, chasing the snow rabbit with light skills, but its body was small and flexible, and it was accidentally hidden in the grass.
In addition, her right arm was injured, and her head was not accurate, and dozens of silver needles were wasted in a row, but she didn't shoot.
She was annoyed, and her face changed when her eyes touched the back of the tree.
In the grass behind the trees were many broken wooden signs, and the sign on them was "No Movement Ahead".
"Woohoo!"
There were several sounds of breaking the air ahead.
"Your Royal Highness has good archery skills, and the man leader this time is none other than you!"
"Don't you think there's an abnormality in the prey here?"
"Look, what's that!"
"Roar!"
With a roar, a yellow figure like a hill slowly walked over.
"It's a lion!"
"What does the Ministry of Internal Affairs do?"
"It's not good, get out of here!"
Lin Feiwan was on the branch of the tree, looking at the few people who were being chased by lions in front of them and running in all directions.
If the group hadn't been the first to get there, she would have been the one who followed the sign and met the lion.
A whistle sounded.
The manic lion suddenly roared, turned and disappeared into the grass.
It turned out that someone was manipulating behind the scenes, and it seemed that a lot of effort was put into dealing with her, and even the strange people who controlled the beast were found.
She can't live up to the hard work of others, right?
As the saying goes, "Capture the thief before the king." ”
She traveled in the direction where the lion had disappeared, and in order not to be discovered, her footing had been in the treetops.
Finally, behind a large tree, a middle-aged man dressed as a hunter with triangular eyes was found.
Suddenly, a dark shadow struck behind him.
"Squeak!"
"Hiss......"
Lin Fei didn't notice it for a while, and the back of his hand was bitten.
"Who?"
The black shadow fell on his shoulder, his triangular eyes turned sharply, and a pair of vertical pupils emitted a fierce light.
When he saw someone coming, he took out a portrait from his waist and compared it back and forth several times, grinning and revealing a mouthful of fangs.
"There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and hell has no door to break into, little beauty, don't blame me for being ruthless, they really give too much."
He licked the corners of his mouth, "It's a pity to let you feed the lions, or if you follow me, how about I leave you alive?" ”
Lin Feiwan sneered, "Otherwise, you give me ten rings, call my aunt three times, and I will spare your life." ”
The triangular eyes were angry, "Stinky girl, toast and don't eat and drink, look for death!" ”
The next second, his index finger and thumb were pressed together to his lips.
"㘗㘗......"
"Roar!"
The lion opened its bloody jaws and pounced.
Lin Feiwan's eyes lit up, and he took out the unused powder from his sleeve and threw it into the air.
The lion's movements paused for a moment, and his fierce eyes began to be confused.
"㘗㘗......"
"Brute, get on it!"
The lion who heard the command was fierce, but his movements were noticeably sluggish.
Lin Feiwan jumped lightly to stand on the treetops, this tree is not thick, with the weight of this lion, there is no need to worry about it climbing up.
Sure enough, the lion was so angry that he bumped into it below.
Triangle Eyes was also anxious, "You actually know martial arts?" ”
He gestured to the little squirrel on his shoulder, and the little thing immediately ran over with its teeth bared.
Lin Fei was prepared early, a few silver needles were thrown out, and the squirrel fell directly from mid-air, becoming a lion's meal.
"Shut up, don't eat it, you brute, don't eat it!"
Xu had feelings, and the triangular eyes ran directly over, trying in vain to snatch food from the lion's mouth.
But he didn't know that the lion had been poisoned and delirious at this moment, and finally, when the triangular eye hit it again, he turned around sharply and bit his head directly.
On the other side of the feast.
Xue Chengao and the others rushed out on horseback and reported the appearance of lions in the forest.
The emperor was immediately furious, "What are you going to do with the Internal Affairs Office!" ”
"Liu Chong, you quickly take the guards to bring the others out of the forest, remember, be sure to ensure their safety!"
"Yes."
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.
"Second child, can you see your imperial aunt?"
"The Emperor...... Aunt Huang? ”
Xue Chengao hadn't recovered from the panic yet, and he didn't react for a while who the imperial aunt was.
"It's Lin Feiwan!"
Empress Cui hurriedly ordered it to him.
"I don't see it."
When the sound fell, even Xue Qianyu didn't notice that she breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid of getting lost, so she shouldn't go too deep.
Soon, Liu Chong came back with the young ladies who were hunting.
Chasing Yun stood on the high platform and craned his neck to look, but he didn't see a familiar figure, and he was so anxious that he sweated.
"Lord, there is no princess."
"Smack!"
Xue Qianyu's face was instantly gloomy as ink, and the fragments of the teacup stabbed into the flesh without even noticing.
Emperor Xue Qianye swept his eyes coldly: "Which of you has seen the imperial princess?" ”
Several noble ladies who had clashed with Lin Feiwan looked at Zhao Tingting in unison.
The corners of her mouth hooked smugly, "Emperor Qiqi, the princess was indeed with us at first, and then we went separately, and the princess was afraid that she didn't hit the prey for fear of being ridiculed, so she hid and didn't dare to come out." ”
"Zhao Tingting!"
A cold voice shook the audience, "How can this king's person be blamed by you at will, you better expect her to be okay, otherwise ......"
The murderous machine struck suddenly, Zhao Tingting's face turned pale with fright, and she swallowed her saliva.
"Chasing the clouds, take the king's bow!"
"Royal King, don't be impulsive, the princess has her own guards to find her, why do you need to take risks yourself!"
The Queen Mother hurriedly spoke out to stop her, and Emperor Xue Qianye was overjoyed, it was a godsend.
Now that he is blind and crippled, it would be better if he were buried in the mouth of a lion.
It's just that for the sake of face, I have to pretend to be one.
"Brother Huang, I have heard that the princess is a skilled horseman, and I believe that even if she encounters a lion, she will be able to escape safely, but you still have to take a carriage to go, there are many inconveniences in the forest, in case something goes wrong, how do I explain to the queen mother and the people of the world."
Xue Qianyu snorted coldly in his heart, "Brother Huang, don't worry, my brother's life is very hard." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was an exclamation from the crowd.
"Look, what's that!"
"Good...... It seems to be a lion! ”
"Quick, escort!"
"Wait, there's not quite something right with that lion!"
