The queen leaves the court

Chapter 15 The fox hunts her as bait (1)
"You want to go too? The horse is bumpy, and hunting at night might be dangerous?" He Lianqing was always concerned about her safety.

"The concubine's body is not made of porcelain. The lord has taught the concubine how to ride a horse. Besides, the lord is protecting the concubine. I don't have to be afraid of any danger. Are you a sister?" She turned to An Zixun.

She smiled and ignored what she said.

He Lianqing was a little helpless when he heard this, but he touched her cheek sweetly, "Okay, I'll take you with me."

"I'll pick a horse." An Zixun didn't bother to look at the scene of two people's affectionate feelings, turned around and walked towards the stable.

He Lianchen, who was also picking horses, was startled when she saw the men's clothing, and then smiled gently, "After all, she is the third princess's concubine, but she is different. This time hunting you and your wife is inevitable."

"His Royal Highness congratulates you. An Zixun just wanted to join in the fun and want to see how hunting in the forest is played. I heard that your highness, your archery skills are outstanding, and you have been the best in hunting in the past few years. My lord often mentions his Riding and archery was taught by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"The blue is better than the blue. There is no doubt about the ability of the third brother." He is elegant and delicate, and his speech and demeanor are very decent and courteous.

An Zixun couldn't help but smile inwardly, everyone in the Helian family would cover themselves well.

He Lianchen's archery skills are sophisticated and calm, and he speaks and does things without revealing anything. As the prince of the Eastern Palace, he has the demeanor of being a prince, but he has an even better sibling.

He Lianqing is not a mediocre person.This time, he suddenly showed his skills again, overshadowed the crown prince, and provoked the second competition. He wanted something in Helian Yufeng's hands, which was so important that he had to beat everyone, even if it made the crown prince feel uncomfortable.

The most is the ruthless emperor's house. She heard Jin Xiaotong say that now she is in it personally, and she has a lot of feelings.

"Are younger brothers and sisters here to pick a horse? Here is a horse named Yuhua Cong, please give it to younger brothers and sisters." He Lianchen ordered his servants to bring it out from the stable.Not waiting for An Zixun to have an excuse to decline, "I disturbed my younger siblings last time, and you were injured by an assassin in the Prince's Mansion. I hope my younger siblings will accept this gift, otherwise my heart will be really uneasy."

He gave some reasons, and An Zixun couldn't refuse, "Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince." She was holding a horse in her hand, she had always liked horses, and it was rare to find a famous horse. "See you later during the hunt. I wish His Royal Highness the best of luck."

He Lianchen nodded with a smile, "I also wish third brother and you a great victory." Looking at her back, her beautiful lips curled up slightly.

"What do you think of her?"

"What is His Highness the Crown Prince referring to?" The man walked out of the darkness with plain clothes and sleeves, and a pair of wonderful eyes looked at the slender figure in the distance.

"The third brother went out last night and brought back the injured An Zixun before dawn, but in just one day, she was able to accompany the third brother to hunt again. She is such a strong woman. It is a pity that she met the third brother..." He sighed softly His tone was light, but he felt pity for her.

"It's not a good thing for a woman to be too strong."

"Forget it, I appreciate her intelligence and personality, but she is the third princess's concubine, so she cannot work for me after all."

Third brother, why did you get all the good things by yourself?He Lianchen closed his eyes and stood in the night wind.His third brother will finally start arguing with him.

"The hunting time is coming, His Royal Highness hurry up." The man reminded.

He Lianchen got on his horse, "Let's go together, it's rare that you also want to see hunting silver foxes, and thought you were only obsessed with those musical instruments."

The man agreed, lowered his head and waited for him to ride his horse away before he neatly rode on the horse beside him.Looking up again, he could no longer see He Lianqing riding Yuhua Cong back to He Lianqing. He glanced at the horse, "Second Brother's Yuhua Cong?" Lian Chen was kept in the mansion.

"What a beautiful horse." Hua Qianyou walked over with a smile, and touched it several times curiously.

"It's from His Highness the Crown Prince." She turned her head and didn't look at He Lianqing and replied lightly.

"My lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so kind to my sister, I gave her such a precious horse." She didn't seem to see Helianqing's displeased look at An Zixun's ignoring him, but she couldn't help but envy her.

He Lianqing immediately sneered, "A famous horse deserves a beauty, the prince is so polite. Qianyou, there are more horses that are more precious than this Daliang famous horse. In a few days, the king will give you one too." He pulled Hua Qianyou Holding her in her arms, she glanced at An Zixun.

"Yes, Mrs. Hua, the prince is extraordinary in riding and shooting. He will teach you again. You will be able to accompany the prince alone when you hunt next year, and the concubines will also be happy for the prince." An Zixun also smiled and narrowed her eyes. He cast a glance at Helian Qing.

Seeing him ignoring him and riding on the horse with Hua Qianyou in her arms, she also got on the horse sullenly.

With the sound of the horn, the hunting team galloped into the mountains with their horses and whips.He Lianqing was on the same horse with Hua Qianyou in his arms, An Zixun followed them, and Helian Xiao who came last.

He was stunned when he saw An Zixun, but he didn't dare to say anything, he just followed Helianqing closely.

The moonlight is bright tonight, and the moonlight falls in the woods as if shrouded in a light veil. Several couples separated to find the hunting area. He Lianqing took Hua Qianyou and kept her and Helian Xiao by his side , the other attendants were scattered.

Evening is the best time for animals in the forest to forage, and it is autumn, so there are many opportunities to hunt for food reserves.

"Silver foxes are nocturnal animals. They are the most cunning of all animals. They usually live deep in the forest, and the caves are hidden. It is very difficult to hunt them, especially if you have to get the fur to make a cloak." He Lianqing didn't rush to start, and slowly Slowly explained to them.

"The four of us going together will definitely disturb the silver fox, and Lin Zida has to go to find it separately, so it's better to act separately. My lord, this is the first time for this concubine to enter the forest, can I ask the seventh prince to lead the way?" An Zixun first proposed.

He Lianqing thought for a moment, and then ordered, "Lao Qi, you can lead the way for the princess. Remember, the forest is dark and there are dangers. To be a good hunter, you must be more cautious than those things. I understand. Is it?" He looked at Helian Xiao with a different meaning, and smiled slightly.

The hunting tonight is not just about those silver foxes.

"Third brother, I understand." Helian Xiao understood what he said in his heart, and replied quite confidently.

Many people entered the mountain forest in Qiuweichang tonight, but it still seemed silent. Occasionally, a bird flew over the head, and a long shadow was drawn under the silvery white moonlight.

The shadows of the trees swayed, the mountain wind was piercingly cold, the further we went, the road was not as smooth as before.The trees and bushes are getting thicker and thicker, and the crowns of towering trees are like big umbrellas, gradually covering the clear light above the head.

In Helianxiao's hand, a fire pocket was lit, although the fire was small, it was full of light.

"It's almost in the middle of the forest, and the best hunting area is in front of it. This area is within the scope of this king and the third brother tonight." He never glanced at An Zixun all the way. .

If the third brother hadn't said that he had to take her with him to hunt the silver fox, Helian Xiao wouldn't have gone with An Zixun.I really don't know what that silly boy Chunshui likes about her.It's not because of her, and I won't embarrass myself, talking nonsense in the tent with a high fever.

"Thank you, Seventh Prince, for taking me this trip."

"No, I can't bear it." He deliberately turned his head and ignored her.

An Zixun guessed that he was still angry at what she said, so she couldn't help laughing, "Seventh Prince, An Zixun was rude to you that day. It's been a long time, and I haven't had a chance to apologize. Let's hunt together tonight. The lord is not going to accompany you." She rode her horse and walked a few steps quickly, grabbed the rein and stopped in front of Helian Xiao.

He raised his head to meet her smiling face and was about to sneer when he saw the bright, thick and graceful eyes of the person in front of him, smiling under the firelight. He had never seen such a beautiful woman before, and he was also amazed by her eyes.

She really hadn't looked at An Zixun carefully, and she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw him.

"I hope my lord will forgive me for my unintentional mistakes that day." She spoke again.

Clearing his throat, he waved his hand at An Zixun, "Forget it, you'll forget about it if you don't mention me, but it's a trivial matter, who will remember it!"

Helianxiao came back to his senses, and secretly scolded himself in his heart, seeing too many beauties, but his eyes are prettier.Judging by her looks, compared with Mrs. Hua, it is reasonable for the third brother not to like her.

"Of course the lord doesn't care about it, on the contrary, I'm overthinking." She smiled and rode the horse and continued to walk with Helian Xiao, "Since the lord is so open-minded, An Zixun thought about it, I still have to ask the lord about this matter."

"Chunshui, right?" He replied straightforwardly. The third brother had ordered in advance that nothing about Chunshui should be revealed to An Zixun before the hunting was over. "You should ask the third brother, you were brought back by him."

"As long as I owe Qiye a favor, ask me how Chunshui is doing now?" After that night, she almost killed Chunshui and A Duan, and now she has no way of knowing anything about them, and now she only hopes to pin on Helianxiao.

He Lianxiao looked sideways at An Zixun and frowned, and after a while, "You won't see him in the future, I dare say that Chunshui can live a long life."

"It's good that he's fine, thank you, my lord, for your reminder."

After finishing speaking, An Zixun stopped talking as before and continued walking.What happened with Chunshui, she didn't need to explain anything to others.

I just feel that she owes Chunshui a man who is so stupid, but wholeheartedly devoted to her and helping her.I'm afraid she still can't give a little response.

It is easy to like someone, it may be a moment; but it seems to be very difficult to forget that person, and it may take longer for yourself.

After walking for a while, Helianxiao suddenly extinguished the fire, and An Zixun's eyes suddenly went dark. Fortunately, the moonlight penetrated through the gaps in the leaves, and he could clearly see the distance in front of him.

"Silver foxes are sensitive to bright light. This is the place where they come out to look for food. There should be caves around, so just stay here and wait." Helianxiao said in a low voice.

At this moment, An Zixun felt that he lost his usual cynicism and became unusually calm and patient.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound in their ears, and it was extremely light. A small silver-white figure like lightning loomed in the bushes, jumped out and quickly passed in front of them.

"Don't shoot, these little things are confusing people. They are very alert. Hunting every year, if you can catch a few, you are really lucky."

"Is the prince already nearby?" An Zixun asked softly.

"Hurry up, third brother will be very busy tonight, how many foxes do you need for the silver fox cloak?" He chuckled, pointing to one side, "Let's split up first, and wait for these little things to relax their vigilance and come out." , let's send this signal to each other, and the third brother will come if he sees it."

An Zixun took it and put it away, and Helianxiao gave her the fire bag that she had just used, "The road ahead is dark, if you can't do it, you can use this. Remember, don't go beyond this range. It is said that there is a swamp deep in the forest. Every year There are guards who have no intention of going in there, and even this king doesn't get close to it easily."

"I will be careful." She nodded, tonight she must help Helian Qing win over the crown prince and get what he wanted.The bottle containing Sansheng Gu blood was broken, she had to find a way to get some more from him.

She was agile, and quickly walked to the far side, obediently watching quietly.

He Lianxiao watched her leave at the same spot, she didn't doubt what he said at all, instead she waited patiently.He finished what the third brother told him as planned.Looking around, there is a sign of agreement between the third brother and him on one of the trunks.

Thinking that the third brother arrived early, the arrangement is similar.He Lianxiao got up slowly and left here quietly, the things An Zixun had around her, and her quick response were enough for her to wait for those unexpected situations.

The third brother's guess has always been accurate, and the plan is even more seamless.Tonight's An Zixun is crucial to whether the third brother can successfully catch the person who secretly assassinated him.

Lengyue Xinghui, An Zixun quietly lurked in the bushes. After a while, except for the silver fox I saw first, the second one has not appeared until now. Counting the time, there are still a few hours before dawn. She hasn't harvested yet, and He Lianqing hasn't come over yet.

Looking up, she couldn't help but look towards Helian Xiao's position, but there was no one there.

When is he gone?An Zixun looked around, seeing the wind and grass moving around, she was the only one left in this area.

Feeling uneasy, does He Lianqing want to leave her here alone tonight?

She couldn't keep guarding here any longer, stood up from a distance, it seemed that Yuhuacong was running towards her.

Suddenly there was a sound in the bushes not far away, An Zixun thought for a while and still leaned forward, the moonlight was blurred, a touch of silver flashed quickly from the dense bushes, she fixed her eyes and saw that it was a silver fox.

An Zixun released the pre-agreed signal as He Lianxiao said, and then carefully followed the whereabouts of the silver fox in the distance.

It wasn't too hard to follow at the beginning, the silver fox figure was shuttling through the bushes, she wanted to catch this little thing wholeheartedly, she didn't pay much attention to the surroundings until she realized that the surrounding environment was unfamiliar.

A row of towering trees stands straight up as high as the clouds, and above the head is a clear night, with a bright moon in the middle and a cold, reflecting the gurgling stream on the ground.

This place seemed to be in the middle of the woods, Helian Xiao warned her not to enter, saying that there was a swamp inside, but what she saw was not so terrifying.Turning to look for the silver fox again, its figure disappeared without a trace inadvertently.

Worst of all, she couldn't tell where she was at all, and she couldn't even find out where she came from!
There was a gust of wind in her ears, and she instinctively turned to avoid it, and then a long sword pierced her from behind.Bending down, An Zixun narrowly avoided, her wrists suddenly went numb.

Just like the cliff that night, the four men in black surrounded her instantly.Her wrist was grazed by something just now, and it was numb and painful.

"It's you again!" The shots were unanimously vicious and sophisticated, An Zixun took a deep breath, the wound was still hurting, and they followed here without giving up.

She gradually became calm, and she didn't notice it at all along the way, so she couldn't help clapping her hands in praise.

"What a powerful ninjutsu, what is the relationship between the Beihai Long family and you?"

She saw the dead man trained in this way once when she was a child, and thought it was lost, but she saw it again today, thinking about that day on the cliff, she guessed it was Helianqing's man, maybe she really misunderstood.

Hearing that she had seen through their tricks, one of them said, "I really can't keep you alive this time!"

"If you can't kill me, you are all dead." An Zixun smiled slightly, but secretly groaned in her heart.Temporarily unable to use one hand, facing these four masters, she has no chance of winning at all.

"If we can't complete the task, we should die." The four of them had already slowly approached An Zixun, but seeing her sitting down in a hurry, they all smiled at them proudly.

"Take a look at what this is?" There was a small and inconspicuous object in her hand.The four of them were shocked when they saw it.

"The concubine is really powerful, and a weapon as powerful as Zhentian can be obtained." The leader's eyes turned cold, and he didn't dare to take a step forward for the time being.

"I dare to come here alone, and I have made all the preparations. I will fry you up and see where you can escape."

She gestured and raised her hand to throw them towards them. The four of them instinctively spread out and lay on the ground, but there was no loud noise. Instead, the air was filled with choking smoke, like a white fog, and they couldn't see clearly. ahead.

Taking advantage of the panic, An Zixun covered her mouth and nose and ran away all the way. The Zhentian thing was brought with her and she might blow herself up. These smoke diffusers look similar in appearance, but they are best used to confuse the enemy and escape.

Presumably they have a close relationship with Beihai Long's family, otherwise they wouldn't mistakenly think that it was Zhentian, one of the most powerful weapons in the sea, and an explosive with extremely destructive power.

Beihai Long's house was destroyed many years ago because of this thing.Are there any descendants alive?It is said that all the members of the Long family were buried in the belly of the fish, and there were no survivors.

Unable to find the way back, An Zixun was afraid that those people would come after her. Gradually, she could smell the smell of dead leaves mixed with rainwater and years of rotting in the air. The mist curled up, and she gradually felt a little uncomfortable.

swamp!There was a thrill in her mind, as Helian Xiao said, she broke into the swamp.Those white mist are miasma.

"Princess Qing, you are really smart. You fooled four idiots with such a thing." A voice came through the miasma with a smile. Heard it now.

The voice of the assassin who pretended to be her and stabbed her in the prince's mansion.

"Such a powerful thing, I have to save one for you no matter what, so that you can taste the feeling of being blown to death." After An Zixun finished speaking, she covered her mouth and nose tightly. If the four assassins came again, she would definitely not be a match. This, right now, could kill her.

In a hunt, it seemed that she was the prey. She was being chased all the way to death. When was she in such a mess?
