Chapter 656: It's Cold in High Places
This scene really shocked Chu Xia, his already big eyes were even more like cowbells at this time, and his eyeballs were about to fall out.
There is only one word in my heart to describe it, grea, so handsome, such a difficult action, in one go, it's simply beyond human ability?
Retracting the bow and arrow, Jing Yuan held the reins in one hand and the bow in the other, and glanced at her defiantly, the contempt in his eyes made Chu Xia want to put him on his lap and slap his little ass fiercely. Stinky boy, crazy enough.
But people do have crazy capital.
She told herself in her heart that it doesn't matter whether the posture is beautiful or not, what matters is the result.
Chu Xia couldn't let the horse shoot while running, which was a bit difficult, so after finding the target, he still sat firmly on the horse's back, took out an arrow from the quiver on the horse, aimed at the target, and pulled a half-moon arc.
"Whoosh-" sound, although not so strong, but also accurately shot at a wild duck.
Yes! Chu Xia made a triumphant gesture to a certain child, which was very villainous.
Jing Yuan glanced at her with disdain, the archery posture and the type of prey were all low-level, and they couldn't be lower-level. I really don't know what to be proud of her.
The competition between the two continued, and soon the scores were high.
Jing Yuan was far superior to Chu Xia in terms of technology, quantity, and the size of the prey.
But Chu Xia was not convinced, but because of such a gap, it aroused a strong desire to fight in her heart.
The two gradually walked towards the depths of the dense forest, and the guards who followed behind had been left far behind, and they desperately called their master to tell him not to take risks.
At this time, the two were fighting, one was unwilling to admit defeat, and the other was that the child was competitive, and he had already thrown their words out of the clouds.
"Don't you throw in the towel?" Jing Yuan sat on the back of the horse and glanced at the woman with contempt.
"It's not dark yet, and I still have a chance to turn it over." Chu Xia looked stubborn and refused to admit defeat until the last moment.
This time Jing Yuan didn't laugh at her again, he liked this kind of character of not admitting defeat, but he just ...... People are a little annoying.
Suddenly, two geese flew in the sky, Jing Yuan's eyes were quick, he drew his bow and shot arrows, and was about to kill two birds with one stone.
At this moment, an arrow feather suddenly flew into the sky, with a ruthless and strong wind, and hit Jing Yuan's back.
Fortunately, Chu Xia reacted quickly, exclaimed, and jumped violently, throwing him to the ground. The ground was full of grass but they didn't fall, and the two of them rolled twice before they stopped.
Looking at the arrows inserted in the trees, the tail feathers still trembling slightly, Chu Xia couldn't help but be afraid. Fortunately, it was in time, and it was also fortunate that she was closer to him.
Jing Yuan also sensed the danger, but he was preoccupied with the wild geese in the sky at that time, and by the time he felt the crisis, it was too late. If it weren't for this woman who saved him, I'm afraid this little life would really have to be confessed here today.
"Damn!" slammed his fist on the trunk of the tree next to him, and Jing Yuan's little face was full of anger.
"Are you alright?" Chu Xia didn't seem to be in a big deal when she saw him, she saved him without thinking about it at the time, and she didn't know if it was instinct or because of the queen's life-saving grace to her.
"This prince is not so easy to die, and it is not so easy to want my life." Jing Yuan got up angrily and went to pull the arrow from the tree, with a sharpness in his eyes that did not match his age.
At this time, the guards behind had already caught up. Presumably they had seen the scene just now, and their faces turned pale with fright, and they were all bad when they dismounted. Kneeling on the ground, he hurriedly kowtowed and apologized.
"Your Highness atons for your sins, and the protection of your subordinates is not good, and your sins deserve death."
Jing Yuan's hand holding the arrow was white. Presumably, the man would not have left any evidence on the arrows.
"Do you know who it is?" Chu Xia walked up to the prince and asked softly, it seems that he, the prince, is not at ease? Sure enough, the heights are cold.
"I'm dead, who is in the best interest?" Jing Yuan's face had a wisdom beyond his age, and there was a flame jumping under his eyes.
It seems that this little prince is not stupid and has a future.
After the thorn
Killing this matter, the hunting thing is naturally over, and it doesn't matter who loses and who wins. But Chu Xia knew that her relationship with Jing Yuan might change because of this incident.
The assassin was caught by Yun Fei, but unfortunately he had bitten his tongue and committed suicide before he could be questioned, it seems that this matter is really not simple, and this palace does not seem calm on the surface.
"Where have you been? I heard Xia Xiang say that you went out early in the morning, why did you come back now?"
Seeing them enter the door, Xiao Yuchan's heart was relieved, she has been restless for the past few days, and she doesn't know what these two gods are doing mysteriously.
Jing Yuan was afraid that the queen mother would worry, so he didn't mention it, and there was a young man's sunny smile on his face: "Queen mother, Chu Xia and I went hunting, caught a lot of game, and it has been sent to the kitchen."
"It seems that you have gained a lot today." The queen was very happy, and it was obvious that the relationship between the two of them was much better.
"Of course, I shot a roe deer, a hare, and a fox, and the fox's fur was silky enough to make a cloak for the queen mother. So that when winter comes, the queen mother will not have to be afraid of the cold." Jing Yuan's face was full of pride, since he was five years old, he had followed his father out hunting, and his father had always been proud of him.
"Okay, Junbao is really sensible, and the queen mother is so happy." Lovingly touching her son's head, which had reached her chest, this smile was from the heart.
"Mother, I've grown up." Jing Yuan suddenly had a small face, and solemnly affirmed why the queen mother always treated him as a child.
"And the pheasant I called, which is also very nourishing, just enough to replenish your body."
Chu Xia couldn't help but want to show himself, who knew that as soon as this came out, he got someone's disdain, "What pheasant? It's clearly a wild duck, okay?"
Xiao Yuchan suddenly laughed and said to her son, "Junbao, you are a boy, do you want Chu Xia to know?"
Chu Xia felt very faceless, she wanted a child to let her, but thinking about other people's skills, she could only sigh silently, after all, strength is better than everything.
The young man raised his eyebrows at Chu Xia proudly, and then happily ran to the Longqian Palace to see the emperor.
After all, it's a child, so easy to satisfy.
Not long after Jing Yuan left, another person came to Fengyi Palace, and this person was in a hurry, as if there was something urgent.
Chu Xia saw this person coming in, tall, tall and handsome, dressed in a blue brocade robe, wrapped in a sturdy figure, but somewhat similar to the queen's mother. Those who can not only report directly to Fengyi Palace must be the people who have been believed by Niangniang, or her relatives.
"Niangniang, I heard that the prince went out hunting and met an assassin, is it okay?" The man came in and did not have time to salute, but spoke eagerly.
Xiao Yuchan saw that her younger brother didn't have time to be happy, so when she heard the news, her frightened face suddenly changed, she was stunned for two seconds, and looked at Chu Xia in surprise, "Chu Xia, what's the matter?"
Chu Xia knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to tell the truth.
"Don't worry, isn't the prince okay? It's just a false alarm."
It's just that behind this matter, I'm afraid it's not so simple.
Xiao Yulang looked at the woman in front of him, sixteen or seventeen years old, although she was not a country or a city, she was also called a beautiful woman in the Qing Dynasty, especially those sparkling eyes, which were brighter than the moon in the sky; The palm-sized melon seed face, with a little red lips, like cherry blossom petals; The skin is better than the snow, and the blow can be broken.
Xiao Yulang, who has seen countless beauties, was attracted by the aura emanating from the woman's body at a glance. After a moment of distraction, he arched his hand and said, "The girl is the county lord of Huanyi, right? I heard that you saved the prince, please accept Xiao Yulang's worship." He bowed deeply.
His surname is Xiao, and he is a little similar to Niangniang, I heard that Niangniang's father is the prime minister, and there is a younger brother who is a general, it should be him.
"No, it's all as it should be." In instinct, Chu Xia stretched out his hand to hold up the man in front of him. But they forgot that this is ancient times, and there is a difference between men and women.
Obviously feeling his body stiffen, he hurriedly retracted his hand, took a step back, and distanced himself from Chu Xia, and two blush clouds flew unnaturally on his handsome face.
Chu Xia was secretly amused, this man was also cute, just touching his hand and blushing
。 If it wasn't for the wrong place, I really wanted to play tricks on him.
"Did you catch an assassin? Do you know who sent it to do it?" Xiao Yuchan grabbed this hand, and she was always uneasy in her heart, and she always felt that a pair of magic hands were reaching out to them. Today is Junbao's fate, what if there is a next time? The more I thought about it, the more scared I became.
"I caught it, but unfortunately I didn't ask anything." Chu Xia told them about the situation at that time.
Xiao Yuchan couldn't rest assured, and instructed her younger brother, "Yulang, you must investigate this matter carefully, I'm really not at ease." "I know, don't worry, Niangniang, I will definitely try my best to investigate, and I will send more people to protect the prince well, you can rest assured." Xiao Yulang also knew that this matter was very serious, and he didn't dare to be careless.
It's just that when he turned around and went out, he quietly glanced at Chu Xia, and saw that the other party was grinning at him, his face turned even redder, and then he hurriedly took a step as if he was running away.
Sending Xiao Yulang away, Xiao Yuchan remembered what he had just said, stepped forward to hold Chu Xia's hand, and said sincerely: "Chu Xia, I really want to thank you this time, if it weren't for you, I don't know if Junbao would have escaped this catastrophe." It's scary to think about.
Chu Xia smiled lightly: "Niangniang, you are serious, Chu Xia's life was saved by you, this is just a gesture. And you don't have to worry too much, even if there is no me today, the prince will be fine, because he is the true son of heaven in the future, and naturally God will bless him. Maybe my appearance today was also arranged by God."
Xiao Yuchan's eyes flashed, is it really providence? Why did she meet her as soon as she came out of the temple, and she was familiar with her at first sight, could it really be the Buddha's will?
Chu Xia didn't know what the queen was thinking, she had already started thinking about other things in her mind, if this assassination was really aimed at Jing Yuan, then it was also the throne. Now that the emperor is seriously ill, if the crown prince has another accident......
