Chapter 26 Danger in the Forest
Shen Han and Zhou Ning were talking here when the personal guard of the Seventh Prince Li Jingzhao rode over and said to them, "General Shen, General Zhou, the Seventh Prince asked me to tell you that the Prince found a deer and chased it deep into the woods."

Zhou Ning asked, "Are there any guards following you?"

The man replied that he had. Zhou Ning breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Shen Han and said, "Since someone is following us, we don't have to chase them."

Shen Han said, "Let's just follow him. Ah Zhao is still young. There are many wild animals in this forest, and there are often traps set by hunters. I'm worried that he won't be able to handle it."

Having said that, without waiting for Zhou Ning to say anything else, he squeezed his legs together, rode his horse with the guard to look for Jing Zhao in the forest. Zhou Ning glanced at Shen Han's receding back, he sighed slightly, and followed him into the forest.

It is said that Li Jingzhao found a deer in the forest and chased after it with his guards. After chasing for a long time, several guards gradually fell behind because their mounts were no match for the Western Region BMW ridden by Jingzhao. The road conditions in the forest were complicated and in the blink of an eye, Jingzhao disappeared.

When they were getting anxious, Shen Han rode up to catch up. Seeing this, he immediately split up the horses and went to look for Jing Zhao separately. After riding for a long distance, Shen Han finally saw Jing Zhao's figure vaguely on another hillside. He immediately rode to find him. After catching up with him, Shen Han stopped him and scolded him coldly: "The forest is dangerous. How can you leave the guards and go alone?"

Jing Zhao was very excited about chasing the prey. He was not annoyed at all after hearing Shen Han's scolding. He just raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said breathlessly: "I left them behind in a hurry. Cousin, since you have caught up with me, come and hunt the deer with me."

"This deer is so agile. I don't believe I can't catch it."

As he spoke, Jing Zhao waved the golden whip in his hand and rode out again. Shen Han hurriedly followed behind him on his horse.

The two of them ran in the forest for a while, one in front and one behind, and they spotted the deer again. Jing Zhao quickly drew his bow and arrow.

"Turn left, swivel, hold on!"

Jing Zhao listened to Shen Han's teaching. He turned his horse to the left, swung back, steadied his wrist and shot the arrow.

This time, the bullet hit the deer's hind leg steadily.

"Medium! In the middle!"

The young man waved the bow in his hand and cheered happily towards Shen Han.

Although the deer was shot in the hind leg, the shot was not too deep because the boy's hand was not strong enough. Although the deer's running speed slowed down significantly, it was still fighting hard to escape.

Just as Jing Zhao was about to chase it again, he saw an adult female deer flash in front of him. The deer did not run away in a hurry when it saw people, but stood in front of Jing Zhao, not too far away, staring at him with a provocative and pleading look, as if begging him to chase it.

At this moment, the guards also heard the sound and chased after them. Jing Zhao ordered the guards, "I shot the little deer, so it can't run far. Capture it alive, and I will chase the big one."

As he spoke, Jing Zhao excitedly said to Shen Han: "Cousin, let's come together."

The achievement of shooting the deer just now further inspired the young man's fighting spirit. He gave Shen Han a determined look and spurred his horse to chase after the doe.

The two men were galloping on their horses in the forest. Although the doe ran slower than the fawn, it seemed to be more strategic and tactical. Every route it took seemed to be carefully chosen, as if it was just attracting people to chase it.

Shen Han, who had experienced many battles, gradually became suspicious when he saw this. He rode his horse to follow Jing Zhao and reminded him loudly: "Jing Zhao, don't chase him. I'm afraid there is a trap ahead."

"My cousin must have been obsessed with fighting. He's just an animal, how can he set traps like a human?"

As he spoke, Jing Zhao whipped the horse's belly hard with the golden whip in his hand, and the horse ran out like an arrow. With the sound of fierce wind in his ears, the figure of the doe gradually approached, and the young man was so excited that his blood boiled. But just when he pulled the bow to the full and was about to shoot at the doe, he saw the deer suddenly leap into the air, and then two rows of black animal traps with sharp iron tools whizzed towards Jing Zhao.

Jing Zhao was frightened by this sudden change and didn't know what to do. He stood stiffly on the spot, feeling the hairs on his body stand on end.

"careful!"

Along with Shen Han's sharp shout, Jing Zhao was suddenly thrown to the ground by him. At the moment when the two of them rolled to the ground, two rows of sharp weapons whizzed past Jing Zhao's head.

Jing Zhao was still confused until Shen Han helped him up.

"It's a trap set by a hunter." Shen Han said to Jing Zhao, who was still in shock.

The loose hair hit his face, and Jing Zhao gradually came back to his senses. He raised his hand and touched the top of his head. The golden crown that tied his hair was knocked off by the trap, and it was just a hair's breadth away from hitting him on the head.

The young man was still in shock. He held his chest and said repeatedly: "That was a close call! That was a close call! Cousin, you saved me."

Shen Han calmly picked up the crown that had fallen from the ground. Seeing that it was too damaged to be used anymore, he simply threw the crown away and pulled out the jade belt from the crown. He then used the jade belt to tie up Jing Zhao's loose hair and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Zhao. Everything will be fine now."

Jing Zhao gradually recovered from his shock and recalled what had just happened. He said in disbelief, "I can't believe a beast would use a trap set by humans to deal with people."

Shen Han said: "All things have spirits."

Jing Zhao smiled bitterly, "They say that human hearts are evil, and I think this beast's heart is no less evil."

As the two were talking, the guards who had just been ordered to chase the deer and Zhou Ning also caught up. Zhou Ning rode in front with the deer that Jing Zhao had just shot tied to his horse's back. When he saw Shen Han and Jing Zhao, he got off the horse, raised his hands to untie the deer, and then smiled at Jing Zhao and said, "I heard from the guards that this deer was shot by Your Highness. I haven't seen you for a few days, but Ah Zhao's kung fu has improved a lot."

"It was indeed my shot, but it was also thanks to my cousin Li's advice." Jing Zhao turned to Shen Han and smiled, and said, "Cousin, I still need to learn more from you in martial arts in the future."

“When your cousin Li was your age, he was able to subdue a tiger with his bare hands. His skills are not something that can be learned easily.” As he said this, Zhou Ning took the fawn out of the cloth bag and threw it on the ground.

The deer's four hooves were tied with ropes. It struggled on the ground, trying to get up but was unable. It could only let out a mournful cry towards the sky.

"Cousin, I know you've captured a cheetah alive, but I didn't expect you've killed a tiger with your bare hands when you were a teenager? Cousin, how did you do that?"

After hearing Zhou Ning's words, Jing Zhao had already forgotten the thrill of the moment. He looked at Shen Han with admiration and kept asking questions.

"Don't listen to Aning's nonsense." Shen Han said calmly with a stern face, "I had a gun in my hand and a dagger in my waist at that time. Otherwise, who could defeat a tiger?"

"That's amazing! Cousin, tell me, how did you do it?" Jing Zhao was already very curious about this topic, and he kept asking Shen Han questions.

Shen Han was pestered to no end by him, and he replied calmly: "I was young at that time, just like you, and I didn't know the dangers of the world. When I was hunting with everyone, I left the team and ran into the dense forest alone, and then I got lost. Unfortunately, I was attacked by a tiger. It was a matter of life and death. Either it died or I died." As he said, he smiled and patted Jing Zhao's shoulder: "It's not that I have extraordinary abilities, but people can burst out with infinite courage and strength at the critical moment of life and death."
