Chapter 134: Salvation
Jiang Ning explained to Lin Zheng with some incompatible, completely ignoring Mu Jingzhao's increasingly gloomy face beside him.
"It's because the emperor is injured! I'm giving the emperor a massage! ”
Hearing the word "injured", Lin Zheng's face suddenly returned to normal, he looked at the two people in the trap, and said comfortingly, "The minister has already released a signal, and I also ask the emperor to wait for a while, waiting for someone to come to the rescue." ”
As soon as the words fell, a burst of rustling footsteps sounded from all directions, and several heads suddenly poked out around the trap, looking at Mu Jingzhao and Jiang Ning who were sitting at the bottom of the trap with a curious expression.
Li Zinian and Zheliu were full of worries, and threw themselves on the edge of the cave, quite determined to jump in and live and die with their master.
Jiang Ning originally felt that it was a bit embarrassing for her to accidentally fall into a trap while hunting, and being misunderstood by Lin Zheng just now made her even more embarrassed.
At this moment, so many people looked at the two of them with surprised expressions around the trap as if they were observing some strange object.
She suddenly felt that she was simply faceless, so she got up silently and found a place a little farther away from Mu Jingzhao to sit down, and no longer looked at these people at the entrance of the cave.
Lin Zheng glanced at her, bowed slightly, and shouted to the people behind him.
"Please stand back a little bit, don't let the emperor and Niangniang be frightened."
The head of the person who had surrounded the trap slowly retreated, Jiang Ning exhaled heavily, and sat down paralyzed.
Vaguely, she felt a gaze fall on her, Jiang Ning turned her head to look, and saw Mu Jingzhao sitting alone, the upper half of his face was completely hidden in the shadows, and the expression on his face could not be seen.
At this moment, Lin Zheng outside the trap was recruiting the Praetorian Guards to save people.
Lu Feng led the Praetorian Guards to drop a thumb-thick hemp rope from the top of the trap, and hung down to the depths of the trap, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, you first hold the rope, and the ministers will help you up." ”
The rope hung appropriately between Mu Jingzhao and Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning glanced up at Mu Jingzhao, but the other party did not react at all.
Obviously, this rope can only hold the weight of one person, so it can only be rescued one at a time.
And Jiang Ning naturally knows in her heart, this kind of thing, she can't be ahead of Mu Jingzhao.
"You go first." Not far away, Mu Jingzhao spoke slowly, his voice soothing, without the slightest fluctuation.
She has never been a hypocritical person, nodded at Mu Jingzhao, stepped forward in two steps, and let the Praetorian Guards pull her up with both hands on the rope.
As soon as she landed, Lin Zhengzhiliu and his party instantly greeted her.
Zheliu hugged her and sobbed to check her body, "Niangniang, are you hurt?" ”
While she comforted Zheliu, she vaguely noticed that Lin Zheng's gaze on her side was a little wrong, she raised her head and glanced at Lin Zheng, and her palm was suddenly stuffed into something by him.
She shook her grip and found that it was the bone whistle that Mu Jingzhao had thrown out of the trap not long ago.
Jiang Ning quietly put away the bone whistle in his hand.
"Now that we've rescued them, let's go back to the camp first."
Jiang Ning followed the prestige, only to see that Mu Jingzhao was already standing outside the trap at this time, his expression was as usual, and he no longer looked seriously injured.
She showed a little stunned on her face, she had only come up for such a short time, even if the Praetorian Guards were well-trained and nimble, it stands to reason that Mu Jingzhao would not be able to come up so quickly.
But soon, she didn't have time to worry about these things.
At this time, the twilight has already closed, and the whole forest is like an ink painting infected with ink, hiding everyone present in a kind of hidden sky.
She was also a little frightened, and hurriedly rode back to the camp with the help of Ori Liu.
When the two returned to the camp, it was already completely dark, and bonfires were lit around the camp to remove all the cold smell of the forest.
The accompanying imperial doctor checked the injuries on the two of them and made sure that they were fine.
Only then did Mu Jingzhao summon all the people who participated in the hunt to announce the results.
After all, it is a competition, and there must always be a beginning and an end.
The sons of the families who participated in the hunt gathered outside the camp, and the little servants on their sides were holding the prey at their sides, and the expressions on everyone's faces were hardly much different.
Either it's gloomy or it's uncaring.
And Mu Jingzhao's prey had been recovered by Lin Zheng with Xunmei, and was held aside by Li Zinian.
But it's a pity that Mu Jingzhao has delayed too much time today, if he wants to ask for victory, I'm afraid it's impossible, and the only hope can only be pinned on Lin Zheng.
Fortunately, today's hunt seems to be a bit too loud, and the birds and animals in the forest are so disturbed that they dare not go out, so everyone's harvest is mediocre.
If he is lucky, maybe Lin Zheng can really take the first place.
Mu Jingzhao cleared his throat and returned to his dignified and solemn appearance in the past, "Everyone has worked hard today, and you must have gained a lot from today's hunting, and I am happy today, everyone present is rewarded." ”
There was a cheer from the crowd, and Jiang Ning looked happy, thinking that he had received a reward today, even if he fell into a trap and was trapped for so long, it would not be a loss.
"At this moment, please start showing your achievements today and determine the winner of today."
As soon as Mu Jingzhao said this, all the princes began to show their prey, but the prey showed several, and it was just some rabbits, birds, squirrels and other gadgets, and if they were a little powerful, they could only take out some rare small beasts such as hedgehogs.
The princes showed it one by one, and the smile on Mu Jingzhao's face grew.
He has always trusted Lin Zheng's ability very much, and today, it is inevitable to think about it.
"Your Majesty, it's the minister's turn next." As soon as these words came out, the smile on Mu Jingzhao's face froze for a moment.
The person who spoke was Liu Jinfu's younger brother Liu Bing.
Although Liu Bing has always been criticized by the people as a straw bag, it is even more exaggerated that he can't even compare to a little thumb of his sister.
But all this nest and waste is only under the premise of comparison with Liu Jinfu.
Mu Jingzhao knew in his heart that although Liu Bing was not as heroic and martial as Liu Jinfu, he was a child born in a Jiangmen family after all, and he was the only son of Liu Yue, who had been carefully cultivated by Liu Yue since he was a child.
No matter how bad it is, it's not much worse.
What's more, at first glance, Mu Jingzhao saw the prey in the hands of the little guy next to him, which obviously weighed more than others.
The only thing left on the scene was a fawn with an arrow piercing its forehead.
