The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 36
The sixteen crossbow arrows all shot at the prey. When each arrow hit the target accurately, everyone loaded the second arrow accurately and skillfully. When they were about to shoot, the leader suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly With a wave of his hand, everyone stopped.

The area around the fire was eerily calm, with more than 20 people still lying there motionless.Everyone was really killed by a single arrow?The ghostly master who was said by the spies didn't even notice the sound of crossbow arrows piercing the air?
When he started to notice these unusual things, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Before he had time to see whether the other person was a man or a woman, fat or thin, his head twitched has left his body.

Things happened so fast, everyone was still stunned, suddenly a figure in front of them flickered, and there were more than a dozen heads leaving the body side by side, and blood spattered before there was even a wailing sound.

Although Ha Wu couldn't see clearly what was going on here in the darkness, he already felt that something was wrong, and quickly issued a retreat command. Seeing that no one answered in front, he knew that everyone was in trouble, and quickly prepared to lead his men to turn around and retreat, but suddenly there were twenty The remaining crossbow arrows struck from behind.

When the first wave of arrows came, more than a dozen people around Ha Wu had already fallen down, and when the remaining ten people rushed up their arrows to fight back, the second wave of arrows had already covered their heads.

Ha Wu knew in his heart that it would be difficult to retreat completely today, and when he was about to rush to the enemy with the last four men around him, the third wave of arrow rain had already attacked him face to face.

Ye Junyan watched Ha Wu fall down coldly, without saying a word, Gu Xinning stood behind Ye Junyan and couldn't help asking: "Why don't you leave a life to ask the truth."

Ye Junyan shook his head and said: "There is no need for this. The soldiers in southern Xinjiang will not speak easily. I don't want to waste time on this kind of person." It's a pity that Ha Wu couldn't hear these words, otherwise he should have rushed to the meaning Be proud.

After confirming that all the soldiers in southern Xinjiang had died, Ye Junyan led more than 20 subordinates to answer the fire. It was only at this time that they noticed that everyone was only wearing inner clothes, and the scarecrows had given their jackets to wear.

Looking at the scarecrow in clothes from a distance under the moonlight, it is indeed difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.Seeing that everyone put on their clothes, Ye Junyan ordered everyone to rest. One of the guards asked Ye Junyan: "Your Majesty, you should keep a few people on patrol."

Ye Junyan shook his head and said: "No, there will be no more enemies on the mountain, let everyone rest well, there may be a fierce battle tomorrow."

Hearing what Ye Jun said, the guard had no choice but to go down to rest.

The weather has cooled down at this moment, and the cold wind on the high mountain is especially bitter.The fire had already burned a lot, but Gu Xinning still felt the chill.

In order to make the fire burn more vigorously and last longer, several guards were picking up firewood nearby and adding to the fire. Watching the flames burn more and more vigorously, Gu Xinning gradually felt warmer, but it was still difficult to fall asleep.

For some reason, Xu saw too many bloody scenes today, which brought back some memories that had been hidden in her heart for a long time. As soon as she closed her eyes, 42 prisoners in white clothes would appear in her mind. The headless grieving ghosts who were subdued walked towards them step by step, as if they wanted to say something to themselves, but they couldn't say anything because they couldn't open their mouths.

However, after a long time, Gu Xinning could no longer remember how many times she was awakened by this hallucination.Suddenly, Gu Xinning felt a warm feeling that surrounded her. Gu Xinning's consciousness was hazy, but when she felt warmth in her heart, she felt the weight on her shoulders suddenly lighten, and finally fell asleep soundly, without being awakened by the nightmare again.

It wasn't until Gu Xinning felt that her eyes were slightly uncomfortable being illuminated by the light from nowhere that she slowly opened her eyes. It turned out that the sky was already bright and the sun had risen high. The guards and Jin Feng's subordinates tonight were trying to figure out what to do. Get some food to fill everyone's bellies.

Gu Xinning sleeps very lightly on weekdays, and wakes up at the slightest disturbance. She rarely sleeps after everyone else has woken up. Could it be that she is too tired these days?However, this sleep seems to be much more comfortable than before.

When Gu Xinning was thinking in her heart, suddenly a gentle voice came from her ear: "Are you awake?"

Gu Xinning was not surprised, she jumped up quickly, and when she looked back, Ye Junyan was touching her left hand and leg with her right hand, Gu Xinning realized that she didn't know when she got up, but in Ye Junyan's arms I fell asleep in bed, no wonder I suddenly felt a warmth rushing in my whole body last night.

Gu Xinning asked in a daze, "When did you take me away?"

While rubbing his legs, Ye Junyan interrupted Gu Xinning's words and said, "I'm the one who wants to ask you, when did you get into my arms, and my hands and feet are so numb right now, so I'm ashamed to ask me! "At this time, Ye Junyan had put away that tenderness, and said to Gu Xinning with a look of reluctance and reluctance.

"You..." Seeing Ye Junyan's expression, Gu Xinning felt angry, and said angrily, "Obviously, you ran to my sleeping place by yourself, who got into your arms, Stop wronging people."

Ye Junyan smiled noncommittally and said: "Under the whole world, is it the king's land? All the land in the world belongs to me, and the place where you sleep also belongs to me. If you sleep on my land, you still send me to you, believe me." If you don’t believe me, I’ll drag you to chop you up.”

"Rogue." Gu Xinning cursed in her heart, turned around angrily, and walked away.

"Where are you going? I'll be leaving soon after eating something." Ye Junyan's voice came from behind.

Gu Xinning said without turning her head: "Go find water to wash away the bad luck that you passed on, so as not to have bad luck."

Ye Junyan smiled when he heard the words, and didn't talk anymore, but quietly watched Gu Xinning's back as he walked away slowly.

I don't know when, I started to have inexplicable concern for this elusive woman full of secrets. Is it because of my curiosity about her elusiveness?Ye Junyan didn't know.

All he knew was that when he ordered her to travel with him before leaving the palace, he only treated her as a pawn, but when he heard that she was summoned by the empress dowager, he seemed to really have feelings for her. I was a little worried, worried that she would not be able to handle the empress dowager, worried that she would suffer in the Compassion Palace.

When Gu Xinning found the stream and was leaning over to wash her face with water, she suddenly felt a cold wind blowing behind her, and she quickly dodged to hide. wiped before.

Just as Gu Xinning was about to turn her head to look at the person who came, she saw another crossbow bolt shooting towards her.

A few game meats had been roasted, and a guard respectfully presented Ye Junyan with a pheasant, and then stepped aside to share the remaining game meat with everyone.Ye Junyan looked at the pheasants strung on the wooden branches, looked around, saw that Gu Xinning hadn't come back yet, seemed to think of something fun, smiled, then walked towards the direction Gu Xinning left, ready to Take advantage of Gu Xinning's unpreparedness to scare her.

At this time, Gu Xinning had already dodged the second crossbow arrow shot by the other party, turned around, hid behind a big tree and shouted at the man: "Sure enough, there are traitors, and you were also sent by Ran Hai?"

When Gu Xinning was hiding from the ground and shooting the crossbow, she had already seen Ye Junyan approaching this way. At that time, she could have had the opportunity to release the hidden weapon, but she gave up, turned around and hid behind the tree, and purposely shouted loudly. The other party shouted, trying to let Ye Junyan hear because the other party said that the mastermind behind the scenes was Ran Hai.

The other Gu Xinning also knew that Ye Junyan already knew the person who was the envoy, but she still wanted to deliberately stimulate Ye Junyan again, so that he would hear this name that he didn't want to hear or mention again.

At this moment, Ye Junyan had also noticed that something unusual happened here, and quickly hid behind a tree, quietly observing the situation here.

The guard's third crossbow bolt was also loaded, and he was slowly approaching the big tree where Gu Xinning was hiding, without saying a word.

Gu Xinning raised her voice, sighed and continued, "I'll find it even if you don't tell me. Ran Hai is afraid that her daughter will fall out of favor, so she insists on getting rid of me, just like getting rid of those officials who don't want to obey him in the court. It's an honor for the little girl to be targeted by the majestic Prime Minister of a country."

"Since death is clear, at least you are not wronged." When the guard arrived at a place close to the big tree, he spoke slowly to distract Gu Xinning, while quietly moving from one side to the other. go around.

Suddenly, the guard felt a gust of wind rushing from behind, and the guard hurriedly raised his crossbow and turned around. Just as he turned around, the crossbow arrow was shot towards the gust of wind.

What he never imagined was that the strong wind was a long branch with a roasted pheasant on it. The crossbow arrow he shot had penetrated the pheasant and nailed it to a tree not far away. and his own throat had been impaled by a branch strewn with pheasants.The pheasant's butt was right in his mouth.

"It's not in vain for you to be a full ghost." When the body of the guard fell down, Ye Junyan had already walked towards this side slowly.

Ye Junyan walked up to the guard, looked down for a while, then looked up at Gu Xinning who was hiding behind the tree with a terrified face, sighed and said, "Oh, your skills will be forced to this extent?"

Seeing that Ye Junyan was suspicious, Gu Xinning quickly said angrily, "What, did he sneak attack? Sneak attack! And it was from behind, from behind!"

Ye Junyan shook his head helplessly, and said, "Let's go, see if those bastards left any leftovers or something."

Gu Xinning followed Ye Junyan and complained dissatisfiedly: "Can't you take down the pheasant first and kill him with only a branch!"

Ye Junyan smiled and said, "No, I have always been generous to my subordinates, and I will never let them go hungry."

Gu Xinning said dissatisfiedly: "Including the person who betrayed you?"

Ye Junyan smiled lightly again, shrugged and said, "Didn't you just see it? I didn't eat a single bite of such a big pheasant, so I gave it all to him."

Gu Xinning sighed, and closed her mouth sensibly. She felt that there was no point in arguing with Ye Junyan any longer. At most, it would only make her stomach hungrier.
