Back to the marriage proposal, helping the incompetent husband to rise to the top

Chapter 50 Savior
The guard was about to follow and take a look when he heard Chu Anlan lower his voice and ordered: "This fox, I want to catch it alive, and you must not hurt it. One of you will ambush at the entrance of this cave, and the other will go to the other entrance to set off smoke."

Chu Anlan took off the net from his waist and put it around the entrance of the cave to prevent the fox from escaping.

The three of them were busy surrounding the fox cave, with smoke all around.

After a while, there was movement in the cave.

Chu Anlan raised his hand.

The two guards nearby were nervous, all their energy focused on the entrance of the fox cave.

For a moment, no one paid attention to what was happening behind them.

After waiting for about half a cup of tea, a fiery red head finally popped out of the cave.

"Grasp!"

Chu Anlan gave an order and rushed forward with the guards.

Behind him, there was the sound of a sharp arrow breaking through the air.

"call out!"

At the same time, the guards cheered: "Got it! Got it..."

Chu Anlan watched helplessly as blood flowed from the corner of the guard's lips. The happy look on his face had not yet disappeared when he fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.

Do not look down.

Chu Anlan stood there in a daze. Before his brain could react, his body had instinctively hidden behind a black stone.

Several sharp arrows fell where he had just stood.

Then he heard the neighing of horses and the sound of horse hooves disappeared into the mountains and forests.

His horse ran away, but his arrow was still clearly stuck in the horse's back.

Behind the stone, there were faint sounds of footsteps approaching.

Chu Anlan's back was soaked with cold sweat.

Suddenly, someone grabbed my wrist.

The guard grabbed him and whispered, "I will be your cover. Prince, seize the opportunity to escape and never look back."

"What about you?" Chu Anlan asked.

The guard clenched his spear tightly in his hand: "I have weapons, so I can still save my life. I don't know how many assassins there are in the mountains, so try to avoid them. If you can't, find a big tree to hide.

When the hourglass on the altar runs out, if the prince has not returned, the emperor will send people into the mountains to look for you."

Chu Anlan hugged the fox tightly in his arms, gnashing his teeth and making a creaking sound: "You must survive! I'll go find someone!"

After saying this, he dived into the dense bushes without looking back.

The guard smiled bitterly.

Chu Anlan didn't know how far he had run.

His clothes were torn by the branches, and his face and hands were scratched with many red marks, which were burning with pain.

In his arms, the fire fox was squawking.

Chu Anlan became ruthless, gritted his teeth, tore off a piece of his torn robe, and tied the fox's mouth through the net.

Firefox struggled desperately.

Chu Anlan pointed at it and threatened: "If you keep yelling, I will knock you unconscious and leave you here for the wolves and tigers to eat as dinner! Or, leave you to those hunters? I just want to catch you and keep you as a pet, but they want to peel off your fox skin and make a fur collar!"

The fire fox whimpered twice, and then really shut up.

Chu Anlan pulled the fluffy and soft fox's tail, feeling satisfied. The man and the fox continued to run for their lives, running until their mouths were dry.

After running for about an incense stick of time, the sound of horse hooves was finally heard again in the mountains.

Faintly, there was a flash of green shirt passing by.

Chu Anlan shouted for help.

Ye Chenting wrapped the reins around his palm, pulled the bow in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.

When he heard the familiar voice, his eyes narrowed immediately.

"Zheng!"

An arrow split in two behind Chu Anlan and fell to the ground.

Just as he was about to turn around to look, he heard Ye Chenting scold him, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Come over to me!"

"Oh my god! Second uncle!"

Chu Anlan was extremely excited to see his savior.

He held the fox and ran desperately towards Ye Chenting.

There were two more sounds of sharp blades breaking through the air. Without exception, the arrows shot in this direction were intercepted by Ye Chenting's arrows and fell to the ground.

Just when his quiver was almost empty, three white-feather arrows broke through the air, passed over Ye Chenting and Chu Anlan, and shot into the distance.

The two men in gray groaned and fell to the ground dead.

Ye Chenting acted carefully. He drew his bow again and shot an arrow at each of the gray-clothed man's hands, nailing him to the ground.

Lu Jilian rode over on his horse, still holding a bow in his hand.

Seeing Chu Anlan, who was in a mess but still holding a fox, Lu Jilian's usually gentle eyes turned a little cold: "Is the prince injured?"

Chu Anlan glanced at him and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry to disappoint Master Lu. I am invulnerable to swords and guns. I am very strong and not hurt at all."

"I'm glad you're okay." Lu Jilian withdrew his gaze.

Ye Chenting put away his bow and arrow and bowed to him: "Ji Lian."

Lu Jilian asked, "You have been traveling for several days. Why don't you take a rest for two days first? Why did you go to the hunting ground right after arriving?"

Ye Chenting was helpless: "I heard that the Sixth Prince, Chen Xi and An Lan have all entered the hunting grounds. I am worried."

"Me too." Lu Jilian nodded slightly.

The two looked at each other, then suddenly smiled and looked away.

When I looked at Chu Anlan again, it was as if I was looking at a disobedient child.

Chu Anlan frowned: "What's so funny?"

Ye Chenting coughed lightly and said, "The forest here is dense and there may be large beasts hiding here. It is better to leave first."

Lu Jilian nodded again: "Let's go."

Two people were riding on horseback, but Chu Anlan was the only one who was limping along the bumpy road, holding the crying fire fox in his arms.

After walking a few steps, he sat down on the ground.

Ye Chenting walked for a while, then turned around and looked over: "An Lan, you're not leaving?"

Chu Anlan's throat was dry and angry: "I can't walk anymore. You guys go on your own and don't worry about me. I want to stay here and feed the wolves."

Ye Chenting laughed: "Why are you so angry? Can't walk anymore?"

Chu Anlan turned his head away in anger.

Ye Chenting said calmly: "Then you stay here. Next year, I will definitely persuade Qing'er to bring her new husband to worship you together. If the progress is fast, maybe she can also bring a child."

Chu Anlan was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Even if I have to crawl, I will crawl to Qing'er!"

When leaving the hunting ground, Chu Anlan's face was covered in blood.

He was wearing red clothes and holding a fiery red fox in his arms. At first glance, he looked completely red.

The gate guard was horrified: "What happened?"

Ye Chenting got off the horse and helped Chu Anlan, who was riding the same horse with him, down: "Can you still stand?"

Chu Anlan was dizzy.

He ran too fast while escaping in the mountains, and his mouth was dry. After he climbed onto Ye Chenting's horse, his nose began to bleed and his palms were bleeding.

Now, I feel even more dizzy.

Lu Jilian dismounted and ordered his attendants, "Please ask the imperial physician to come."

The guards hurried to the curtain next to the stands.

Soon, the imperial physician came carrying a medicine box.

Seeing Chu Anlan's face covered in blood, the imperial physician was shocked: "Is this... the prince of Dun? Why is he bleeding so much?"

Ye Chenting said: "Please take a look."

The imperial physician hurried forward to take the patient's pulse.

"Chen Ting." Lu Jilian suddenly said, "You stay here with Prince Dun first. I will go and report to the emperor."

"Okay." Ye Chenting nodded.

Soon, hundreds of cavalrymen, armed with weapons, marched into the hunting ground in a mighty force.

There was a sudden uproar in the stands:
"Why did the Iron Cavalry enter the hunting ground? Did something happen in the mountains?"

"That person was brought out covered in blood. I'm afraid he won't survive, right?"

"It looks like Chu Anlan?"

Ye Wanqing was chatting with the eldest princess and Prince Dun's wife Liao Fuyu in the tent when she vaguely heard some noise coming from outside. She was puzzled and secretly winked at Yingxiang.
