Chapter Twenty-Four: Autumn Hunting
In the palace of the king of Chu, the sixth prince Ji Yiyu paced back and forth in the hall uneasily.... After a while, a figure walked in outside the door, and seeing this, he eagerly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" ”
"Back to the prince, everything is ready."
"Okay" Hearing this, the King of Chu put his mind at ease and said fiercely: "Pass the order, the autumn hunt in three days, everything will go according to plan." ”
"Yes!"
.............
In the suburbs, Song Wan sat alone in the carriage, secretly thinking about the upcoming autumn hunting situation, if she remembered correctly, the autumn hunting in the previous life was indeed a rebellion by the six princes, but in the end it was quelled by Ji Qinian with troops, and it was also because of this move, his power in the court was even more unrivaled, if it weren't for the appearance of a nighthawk behind him to threaten his position, I believe that he would have already had the position of prince at his fingertips! But.....
"Xiao Beichen" heard Song Wan's call, he turned his head in front of him and wondered, "What's wrong?" ”
"I have something to tell you, it's very important!"
Hearing this, Xiao Beichen frowned, it was rare to see her so urgent, so he waved his hand and motioned for the others to rest in place for a while, while he got off the horse and walked in the direction of Song Wan....
Seeing that he had already walked in front of him, Song Wan asked aloud: "Regarding the matter of the six princes, have you ever found out about King Qi's side?" ”
"Well, according to the secret report, King Qi is now on his way to the location of the autumn hunt, and he should arrive before us" The words fell, seeing that she was suddenly silent, Xiao Beichen finally smelled something wrong, "Wanwan, is there something wrong?" ”
"Yes, I suspect that King Qi is not on the way to the autumn hunt at all, but all the way south to join the Fu family."
"Wanwan means that King Qi did it on purpose?"
"Yes, and you and I should both know that if the six princes plot this time is taken down first, not only can they successfully get rid of the other party, but they can also grasp the initiative for their own power in the court.
"Oh, you know him!"
Song Wan, who was immersed in her own thoughts, didn't hear Xiao Beichen's slightly sour tone, but just said to herself: "Xiao Beichen, I know that there is a path in the southeast, but before King Qi, I can reach the place of autumn hunting one step faster, but"
"But what?"
"The road is rough and there is a cliff next to it, and if you are not careful, you will risk being crushed, I am afraid that we should not all go up here, and if necessary, we may need to go separately."
After speaking, seeing that he lowered his head and pondered without speaking, Song Wan knew that he had understood the current situation, so he continued: "I am not from Beijing, if I am allowed to appear alone in the place of autumn hunting, I am afraid it is not convincing, the best way is for you to lead the elite here to arrive first, and I will follow." ”
"Immediately after?" Xiao Beichen guessed her plan as soon as he heard it, and then frowned and said disapprovingly: "I can't let you stop King Qi alone, don't even think about it." ”
Hearing this, Song Wan was slightly stunned, and immediately knew that he was worried about himself, and his phoenix eyes couldn't help but overflow with a little smile, and his low words were nasal with a soft and gentle voice: "I didn't say that I went alone, didn't you leave someone for me, you take a shortcut and go back first to stop the six princes, I just set up a small obstacle on the road that King Qi must pass, rest assured, I won't meet him in battle." ”
"You"
"Beichen" Song Wan stepped out of the carriage, stepped forward and approached his ear, and whispered: "Beichen, you let me help you, okay?" ”
She knows what her weakness is, and she will be coquettish to him if she doesn't agree with her, where can he still say half a word? "Meng Yu"
"Yes, Lord."
"Pass the order, let Zhan Lao and another team of people follow me first, and the rest of the people will follow behind Miss Song and wait for the dispatch."
"Yes!"
Seeing that the person had gone down to convey, Xiao Beichen turned to Song Wan and sternly instructed: "Wanwan, remember what you promised me, after the plan succeeds, don't entangle with it, go back to the camp to find me quickly, remember, nothing is more important than yourself, we will come to Japan for a long time." ”
Understanding his concerns, Song Wan could only try her best to relax her mind, nodded obediently, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
..............
At noon, after separating from Xiao Beichen, Song Wan took another team of men and horses to the south...."Meng Yu"
"Yes, girl."
"Separate the two groups of men and horses, and collect some stones and oil around here as soon as possible, and come back with some oil later."
"Yes!"
Seeing that they had already started to move, Song Wan sat back on the hillside and thought to herself: According to the experience of the previous life, Ji Qinian should pass by here tonight, and will camp and rest not far ahead, and will not set off again until tomorrow. If she can successfully disrupt his plan this time and delay his arrival in the Autumn Hunting Land, it is estimated that the battle of the Six Princes.... Thinking of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Song Wan's eyes: Ji Qinian, this battle, I won't let you win so easily!
At that time, everything is quiet, only the crows hovering in the sky are heralding the destined unrest of the night....
"Girl, you're ready."
"Okay, you lead someone to ambush in front first, and I'll come over later."
"Yes!"
After calculating the time and knowing that it was almost the same, Song Wan turned around and ordered the other team of men and horses, and said, "Bring the stones, follow me to the other side, and proceed as planned." ”
"Yes!"
Boom, boom.... Ji Qinian, who was sitting in the tent, was still thinking about the Six Princes, when he was suddenly interrupted by the noise outside, "What's the matter?" ”
"Tell the second master, an assassin has just sneaked in to attack our horses here, and now they are frightened and fleeing in all directions, and we are sending more men to capture them one by one."
Hearing this, Ji Qinian looked at the scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping all over the ground, frowned and said sharply: "What about the assassins? ”
"I was caught up by Master Pei."
Hearing that it was Pei Ze who went to arrest him personally, Ji Qinian relieved his heart a little, and just wanted to give instructions below, he was interrupted by another person who came in a hurry, "Second master, something is wrong, our grass and grain have been burned, and the road closest to the mountain is also blocked with big stones, if you want to go over, I'm afraid you can only take a detour." ”
What a plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain! If he still can't see what the enemy's purpose is, then he really lived in vain. "Pass the order, go overnight, and be sure to reach your destination before the autumn hunt begins."
"Yes!"
"Also, inform Pei Ze that you don't need to leave the assassin alive if you catch it, you can just correct the law on the spot!"
"Yes!"
After that, Ji Qinian took his beloved horse, and after turning over neatly, he waved his big hand and motioned for others to follow.... He wanted to see what other "surprises" were waiting for him in this autumn hunt in addition to the sixth brother.
As soon as Song Wan joined Meng Yu here, she heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind the mountain, and settled down, she had expected that this kind of trick would not be easy for Ji Qinian to give up. "Are the arrows ready?"
"Ready."
"Remember, I will listen to my instructions to release the arrows, the purpose is to make the direction of the horse run deviate, without hurting people, now the Lord is in need of people, we should not have a head-on conflict with King Qi, once we succeed, evacuate quickly, and do not have to entangle with him."
"Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw Ji Qinian and his party quickly advancing here from the bottom of the mountain, seeing this, Song Wan raised her hand to aim at the opportunity, and ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”
Suddenly, the rain of arrows rushed towards the bottom of the mountain with rapid and fierce energy, and the horses below were frightened again, raised their heads to the sky and roared, and ran wildly...."It's not good, there is an ambush, protect the second master!" ”
Seeing this, Ji Qinian, who was trying to maintain his balance on horseback, immediately made a decision: "Everyone evacuate the place first, and then think about it in the long run when they get to a safe place." ”
"Yes!"
Seeing that the people finally followed their plan to another mountain road, Song Wan breathed a sigh of relief! There is no doubt that she has done so much just to make Ji Qinian change her itinerary, as long as he leads people to another mountain road, even if he inserts his wings, it is impossible to arrive before the autumn hunt, after all, in the previous life, because of him, she had already memorized the terrain here, and there could never be a mistake.....
"Meng Yu, you first take someone to take a shortcut to meet the Lord, remember, be careful in everything."
"Won't the girl come with us?"
"You go first, and I'll come later."
"But the Lord Commanded"
"I know" Song Wan interrupted his unfinished words, frowned lightly and said in a low voice: "I will tell him when I turn around on the Lord's side, the time is urgent, don't delay any longer, in case of delaying the Lord's plot, we can't afford it." ”
"This" thought about it, Meng Yu finally nodded to him and agreed, "Okay, let's go first, Miss Song should be careful herself" After saying that, she turned around and led a group of people to quickly move in the direction of the path earlier....
When the people were already far away, Song Wan ran in the opposite direction... She had already noticed just now that Pei Ze was not there! According to the experience of the previous life, she knows his temperament too well, if she can't bite the prey, she will only keep chasing after him, and if he ruins the plan, I am afraid that the most gain will outweigh the loss! Thinking of this, Song Wan quickened her pace, and suddenly a fierce sword aura came from behind her, she vigilantly dodged to the side, and the blade pierced through the hair on her cheek and stabbed fiercely into the trees behind her...
Looking at the assassin in front of him, who was dressed in black, but his body was obviously not a man, Pei Ze frowned and said, "Female? ”
Not again! This contemptuous tone, if she didn't know that he was such a straight belly, she really wanted to go crazy on the spot, "Pei Ze." ”
Seeing that he had accurately called out his name, Pei Ze raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but wonder, "You know me?" ”
"Well, King Qi's right-hand men are both civil and military, but their emotional intelligence is low, and they often offend people when they exit, so they also have many enemies."
"Hehe, you have checked carefully" He looked at the person in front of him with interest and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"It's not convenient to tell you now, but"
"Huh? But what? ”
"But I have something to give to you" When the words fell, Song Wan took a step forward, slowly approached his side, took out the secret letter and handed it to him, and said softly: "This is the military deployment map of the six princes, one thing for one life, how about this deal?" ”
Hearing this, Pei Ze didn't say anything, but just after taking it, he couldn't wait to open it, and he was blinded by the hidden medicine powder inside, and when he wanted to react, the medicine had been inhaled into his body, and then his limbs fell backwards weakly. Seeing this, Song Wan smiled slyly, squatted down and looked at her with eyes, Pei Ze, who was eager to knock her over, chuckled: "How many times have I told you, don't underestimate women, this is a small punishment, hehe!" Master Pei, let's sleep well here, little girl, I'll take the first step! ”
After that, Song Wan got up in a good mood and walked in the direction of the path, leaving behind Pei Ze's resentful eyes and the cruel words that didn't have time to say: Damn! You'd better not let me catch you, or I won't let you go easily, huh..... Damn it!
