Chapter 133 bite back

When she said it so calmly, Song Xuan couldn't help but startled, raised her eyes to look at her, and said in surprise, "Junxi, what can you do?"

The smile on the corners of Jun Xi's lips was faint, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes, "But there is no way, it's just some cheating methods."

Song Xuan was stunned upon hearing this.

Since the members of the Jun family have good horses for thousands of miles, and they know the terrain of the forest well in advance, it is impossible for them not to leave behind their tricks at this last hurdle.

He looked up at Junxi, waiting for her next words.

Jun Xi didn't speak, leaving only the guards here, then called Song Xuan and walked along the edge of the swamp.

Song Xuan didn't know what she wanted to do, but seeing her confident appearance, she didn't ask any further questions, and just followed her quietly.

After walking for a while, Jun Xi suddenly turned his head and smiled faintly at him, with some elegance in his eyes, "You believe me."

Song Xuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled quickly, "At this time, there is no need for you to lie to me."

Jun Xi took a serious look at him, his eyes moved slightly, "Are you so sincere to everyone?"

Song Xuan didn't understand what it meant, thought for a while and said, "Naturally, it must be someone I can trust."

Jun Xi said "um", smiled and didn't say any more, turned his head and continued to walk forward, only the curvature of his lips deepened.

After walking for a while, Jun Xi finally stopped.

Song Xuan looked around and saw that the place where she stopped was exactly opposite to where Shen Xing and the guards were, facing each other across the wide swamp ahead.

Jun Xi didn't speak, but raised his steps, walked straight into the swamp, and walked straight to the flag in the center.

Song Xuan was startled, and quickly reached out to grab her, "What are you doing?"

Jun Xi was pulled by him, turned around and smiled softly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." As he spoke, he stretched out his feet and stepped on the swamp.

Song Xuan's eyes widened, and he was surprised to see that the swamp was stepped on by Jun Xi, but there was no reaction, and there was no tendency to sink.

How is this going?

Suspicious in his heart, he stretched out his foot hesitantly, and stepped on the swamp carefully.

——It does not feel soft or squishy as imagined, but very hard, as if stepping on flat ground.

He was even more surprised, and stepped on it harder, his pupils dilated, and he looked at Junxi in surprise, "This...what's going on?"

"The swamp here is called semi-swamp because it looks huge, but in fact only more than half of it is real swamp soil, and the rest is solid soil, but the color becomes darker over time. , looks no different from the other half of the swamp soil, and those who don’t know it will think it’s a big swamp.” Jun Xi explained.

Song Xuan suddenly realized.

They came in from the outskirts of the forest, no matter what kind of detour they took in the middle, they all came to this swamp from the same direction in the end, and they were facing the side with the real swamp soil.

Others don't know that there is such a trick in it. Since one side is the swampy soil that can swallow people at any time, they never thought that the other side has other mechanisms, so they will not go around this side at all.

In this way, while other people were struggling to figure out how to get the flag, the members of the Jun family could get it without any effort.

Although it is unfair to contestants from other countries, who made the Cangxie sword appear in Zhao country?

Pursing his lips, he suddenly realized that he was still holding Jun Xi's wrist, so he hurriedly let go and smiled apologetically at her.

Jun Xi also raised the corners of his lips, and said lightly, "So don't worry, nothing will happen, I'll help you get it back together."

"I'll go with you." Song Xuan said without thinking.

"Okay." Jun Xi was slightly stunned, and nodded quickly.

The two walked side by side to the center of the swamp.

Even though Jun Xi had secured the guarantee, Song Xuan still walked very carefully, step by step tentatively moving forward, not only that, but reminded Jun Xi to walk slowly from time to time.

Jun Xi only responded lightly, but the cold expression in his eyes softened a bit.

Seeing that he was about to reach the wooden board with the flag on it, Jun Xi stopped and motioned for Song Xuan to stop too.

"what happened?"

"The front is swamp soil again, and we need to use light work to get over it." Jun Xi said.

"Okay." Song Xuan responded without thinking, "You wait here, I'll go over and get it."

Although his qinggong is not good, but such a short distance should be no problem.I don't know why, ever since I knew Jun Xi's identity as a woman, I subconsciously wanted to take care of her.

Jun Xi raised his head slightly in surprise, caught a glimpse of the light in Song Xuan's eyes, did not refuse, lowered his head, and thanked softly.

Song Xuan flew over, leaned over and took three flags, tapped his toes on the template, and quickly jumped over again.

"Here." He handed one side to Jun Xi, and put the other two sides in his arms.

Jun Xi thanked him with a slight smile, and glanced at his bosom without saying a word.

After getting the flag, as long as you successfully leave Zhihui and return to the forest between Xushi and Haishi, and rush to the meeting point to gather, you will be considered as successfully passed the selection competition.

It was past noon at this time, there was not much time to dawdle, the two of them left the swamp, and rushed out of the forest with Shen Xing and the rest of the guards.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the sun gradually set to the west.

Outside the Zhihui forest, there are several canopies, under which sit the Emperor Zhao and the Empress, as well as Jun Wan and Su Yan who retired early.

Emperor Zhao glanced at the shadow on the sundial, and said heavily, "It's almost time, people should come out."

The queen smiled, and echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty, I wonder who can successfully get the flag."

Emperor Zhao's gaze flitted across Jun Wan's face, and his tone was a bit cold, "Che'er and Han'er must be fine. Although Xi'er's martial arts are not as good as theirs, they are smarter. I'm sure it won't disappoint me either. A man from my Jun family will never lose to anyone else."

Hearing Emperor Zhao's meaningful words, Jun Wan lowered her head even lower.

She withdrew from the competition yesterday, and changed into a plain white dress today, her small face became paler, and she became more delicate and weak, beautiful and indisputable, her small hands were clenched on her knees, and her round eyes were slightly wet. Hydrating, like a deer in the forest, it looks extremely pure, kind and gentle.

It's a pity that Emperor Zhao didn't like Junwan like this.

A little farther away sat Su Yan who also retired from the race.She sat upright on the table with a calm expression, her eyes were fixed on the front of nothingness, her expression was a bit ethereal, and the words of Emperor Cai Zhao fell on deaf ears.

Today's Su Yan exudes a sense of depression all over her body, she is no longer as soft as water, beautiful and refined as before.Just because of the affair with the emperor that day, it hit her too hard.

Although she and Emperor Chen tacitly never mentioned this matter again, and even Emperor Chen's attitude towards her was much better than before, and he even gave her the title that she had been thinking about before, but these are for her now. It no longer has any attraction.

Every time she saw Emperor Chen, she would feel uncontrollably disgusted in her heart.And the instigator of all this is Su Rao!The only purpose of her life now is to let Su Rao have a taste of this heart-piercing taste!

So when she entered the forest yesterday, seeing the dangers in the forest, she immediately withdrew from the competition.

She can't die yet, she still has to save her life to deal with Su Rao.

Thinking of this, a sternness flashed in the bottom of his eyes, and the sorrow and resentment emanating from his whole body were so strong that Emperor Zhao couldn't help but look sideways, thoughtfully.

As soon as the time of Xu arrived, the servant standing by the side beat the gongs and drums on time.

Just as the sound of drums and gongs fell, the sound of "Dada" and horseshoes came from the forest.

The servant serving behind Emperor Zhao bent over and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, someone has come out."

Emperor Zhao straightened his back slightly, looking expectantly at the exit of Lin Zi.

A bay red horse jumped out, and the person sitting on the horse was Jun Che, holding the black flag in his hand, waving in the wind!

Emperor Zhao was overjoyed, he hurriedly got off his seat, and hurried up to meet him.

Jun Che got off his horse, knelt down on one knee and saluted Emperor Zhao, "I have seen my father."

"Good! Good!" Emperor Zhao took the flag in Jun Che's hand and handed it to the servant beside him, excitedly saying, "Remember, the second prince successfully passed the audition."

As he spoke, he lifted Jun Che up and looked him up and down, unable to hide the joy on his face, "Che'er really didn't disappoint me, you are the first one to come out successfully."

Jun Che raised his lips and smiled, but his complexion was not very good.

Emperor Zhao sensitively sensed that there was something wrong with his expression, and when he glanced at him, his expression darkened.

Because, Jun Che is too dusty.

It's just a night in the forest, and it's not a long journey, why are the clothes so torn?

"Che'er, what happened?" Emperor Zhao's eyes suddenly sank, and he stared closely at Jun Che.

But Jun Che suddenly fell to his knees, his voice trembling, his hands clenched into fists, and the veins on his face popped out, "Father, third brother... he is dead..."

"What did you say?!" Emperor Zhao was terrified, staggered and took a few steps back, only when the waiter beside him stepped forward to help him, he managed to stabilize his figure.

"What's going on?!" Emperor Zhao took a deep breath, stepped forward and grabbed Jun Che's shoulder, shaking it vigorously.

At this time, the queen also heard the conversation between the two just now, and she was also shocked, and hurried down to grab Emperor Zhao's hand, "Your majesty, calm down and listen to Xi'er finish."

Only then did Emperor Zhao calm down a little, and stared at Jun Che with red eyes.

"The third brother...was killed by the fifth brother." Jun Che frowned, with a look of pain on his face, and slowly uttered a sentence.

The voice fell, and the surroundings were silent.

Emperor Zhao stared at Jun Che in astonishment, unable to believe it, "How...how is it possible? How could Xi'er kill Han'er? Che'er, is there some misunderstanding?"

Jun Che pointed to his right arm, and Emperor Zhao turned his eyes to look blankly, only then did he find a long wound on his arm, and he didn't notice it just now because of his emotional ups and downs.

"Father, this is the evidence." Jun Che tremblingly said.

Emperor Zhao's mind was buzzing, he couldn't believe what he heard, his lips moved, but he didn't make a sound for a long time.

The queen's eyes turned, and she hurriedly said, "Che'er, what's going on? Tell me in detail!"

Although the empress is in the central palace, she has no son or daughter under her knees, and the position of empress is indeed a bit precarious.Fortunately, she has a strong mother's family, so she came here without incident after so many years.

But in recent years, the three princes have gradually grown up, and each of them is deeply loved by Emperor Zhao, so her status is inevitably threatened.

Cheng Zhaoyi, Junche's mother and concubine, passed away due to illness a few years ago, which caused her to suffer a lot.But Jun Han's mother, the concubine Shu Yue, and Jun Xi's mother, Lou Muxue, who ranks among Xiuyuan, have been favored more and more by their sons in recent years.

If Jun Xi really killed Jun Han, wouldn't it be a good thing for her?
Jun Che said, "I agreed to work with the third and fifth younger brothers. After entering the forest, we met Song Yi, the eldest prince of the Yu Kingdom, who was alone. Since there was no chance to eradicate the enemy, they joined hands to kill Song Yi."

When he said this, his expression suddenly became agitated, "I don't want to, Song Yi cut off the third brother's arm before he died, and the fifth brother, the fifth brother stabbed him in the back when the third brother was sad One sword, kill him!"

Emperor Zhao listened, his eyes became more and more furious, but he still restrained himself from bursting out.

"and after?"

"My son was dumbfounded at the time, and before he came back to his senses, he saw the fifth brother stabbing at him with a sword. My son had no time to dodge, and was stabbed by the fifth brother on the arm." Said, pointing to Cai Cai The wound that Emperor Zhao saw.

"Although my son's martial arts are superior to the fifth emperor's younger brother, his arm was injured and he dared not fight the fifth emperor's younger brother head-on. When he was about to ask the fifth emperor's younger brother for clarification, the fifth emperor's younger brother rushed over with a helper."

"Helper?" Emperor Zhao's face became more and more gloomy, "Who is it?"

"The fifth prince of Yu Kingdom, Song Xuan."

Emperor Zhao frowned, "How could the two of them get involved?"

Jun Che shook his head, "I don't know. But I know that in this situation, I feel that I can't beat the fifth emperor, so I hurried away on horseback, carefully avoiding the fifth emperor's pursuit all the way, and only then did I succeed in returning home." Forest."

"He, Jun Xi, is so courageous! How dare he do such an act of murdering a brother!" Emperor Zhao angrily reprimanded, obviously very angry.

Jun Che stopped talking, and stood aside with his head bowed, pretending to be a victim.

Emperor Zhao was emotionally ups and downs for a moment, then gradually calmed down, and cast a gloomy look at Jun Che, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

He was indeed very angry at that moment just now, but now that he thinks about it carefully, the so-called murder of Jun Xi's brother was just Jun Che's one-sided remarks.

Jun Xi's martial arts is not as good as Jun Che and Jun Han, so how could he be so bold and directly assassinate?What's more, he has always been low-key and introverted, and has no interest in the throne. Why did he do such a cruel thing this time?

A few strands of suspicion arose in my heart, and I looked at Jun Che again.

Jun Che's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to say more. He just lowered his head and let Emperor Zhao look at him.

The queen had a panoramic view of Emperor Zhao's expression, turned her thoughts around, looked at Emperor Zhao and persuaded softly, "Your Majesty, what is going on with this matter, we will find out after Xi'er comes back and confront each other."

She knew that Emperor Zhao was suspicious, and she didn't fully believe Jun Che's words in her heart, so she followed his meaning.

Emperor Zhao pondered for a while, and finally opened his mouth in a deep voice, and ordered his servant to take Jun Che down first to change his clothes, then walked slowly back to the seat, and sat upright again, without saying a word, only staring into the distance with heavy eyes.

The queen couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so she had to sit down with her carefully.

Jun Wan looked this way timidly, then quickly lowered her head again, not daring to look any further.

Su Yan's expression was cold, her brows moved slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

Apart from Su Rao, there is nothing in this world that can cause her to fluctuate violently.

Jun Che quickly changed his clothes and sat down, his complexion was a little pale, but he was fine, but his heart became more and more uneasy.

After Jun Xi was rescued by Song Xuan, he also tried to trace the whereabouts of the two.But Jun Xi was very cautious, so he didn't leave any clues.

He had a ghost in his heart, and he knew that Jun Xi would not be able to escape and return to the forest alive, so he anxiously searched for Jun Xi's whereabouts all the way, but he didn't expect to wait by the swamp.

There was a lot of delay on the road, and when he arrived at the swamp, he found that many flags had been taken away. He became more and more anxious, but he had no other choice, so he hurried back.

Since he has no way to deal with Jun Xi in Zhihui Forest, he can only act preemptively and blame him for killing Jun Han!
The guards who went with them to the forest were all dead, and he sneaked back to the place where Jun Xi died, and used Jun Han's sword to patch his wound, so that the traces of the wound would be the same as Jun Han's. The blade of the sword matches the body of the sword, but he cannot find it on his own body.

As for Song Xuan who saved Jun Xi, in order to prevent Song Xuan from speaking for Jun Xi, he had to be dragged into the water early, and the seeds of doubt were planted in Emperor Zhao's heart first, so that the matter could be completely reversed.

He fidgeted and waited, going through the rhetoric he had planned in his mind over and over again to prevent any flaws from being revealed.

But after half a stick of incense, the sound of horseshoes came again.

Everyone looked forward, with different expressions.

The ones who came out this time were Song Qinghuan, Shen Chuhan and the others.Yin Qingrong and Song Qinghuan took the lead, followed by Shen Chuhan and the rest of the guards.

Seeing Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan coming out together, Emperor Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, looked them up a few times, and then looked away.

Several people walked in front of Emperor Zhao and got off their horses.

"I have seen Emperor Zhao."

Emperor Zhao waved his hand, his face turned livid, "You guys have worked hard all the way, so there is no need to be polite."

Yin Qingrong and Song Qinghuan took out the flag and handed it to Emperor Zhao.

Emperor Zhao's expression changed slightly, and he quickly squeezed out a smile, "The two concubines are really women." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the servant behind him, motioned him to step forward to accept the flag, and recorded the two of them on the list name.

Another servant came over and ushered a few people into their seats.

The moment Song Qinghuan took her seat, Su Yan, whose expression hadn't changed for a long time, suddenly turned to look at her, and something disappeared in her eyes.

Song Qinghuan acted as if he hadn't seen her, her eyes were clear, and she suppressed the icy breath around her, and sat upright on the table.Su Yan blinked her thick long eyelashes, and quickly turned her eyes away.

The shadow on the sundial gradually elongated, no one spoke, they just held their breath and waited for the next person to come out, the atmosphere was a little tense.

Suddenly, there were horseshoes in the forest, and dust was faintly visible.

There were quite a few people who came out this time.

Riding in front were Song Yan and Song Qingyi and the only two remaining guards.They whipped their horses out of the woods, and a group of people loomed behind them, they were Su Jingci, Su Fengming and Su Rao.

A few of them walked in front of Emperor Zhao and dismounted one after another to salute.

Seeing that they all came out safely and got the flags, Emperor Zhao's face had a flash of gloom, and he quickly subsided into a smirk on his face.

After they took their seats one by one, Emperor Zhao's expression became more serious and livid.

The time of Hai is approaching, Jun Han and Jun Xi, as expected, there is no shadow yet.The balance, which was somewhat skeptical in my heart, involuntarily tilted to Jun Che's side.

If Jun Xi had no ghosts in his heart, why did he come out so late?
At this time, Song Qinghuan was also a little anxious.

Everyone else came out, except Brother Wu Huang and Jun Xi, could it be... something really happened to them?But if this is the case, Shen Xing will definitely find a way to inform himself.

No news is the best news. Right now, she can only comfort herself like this.

Frowning slightly, he glanced at Junche calmly.

If something really happened to Brother Wu Huang, it must have something to do with Jun Che. It can be seen that his expression at this time is actually a little nervous?

Thinking about it this way, he settled down a bit.

At this time, he suddenly felt a gaze on his face from the side, and turned his eyes slightly, and saw that it was Shen Chuhan.

Seeing Song Qinghuan looking over, Shen Chuhan gave her a reassuring look.

Song Qinghuan was slightly stunned, but seeing Shen Chuhan's eyes were clear, she inexplicably settled her mind.

Seeing that the deadline was approaching and no one else had come out of the forest, the atmosphere on the field became more solemn and oppressive, and Emperor Zhao was even more restless.

He doesn't care about other people's lives, but now he is eager to know what happened between Jun Che, Jun Xi and Jun Han.

Zhaoguo sent four people to fight, and Junwan withdrew early. So far, only Junche has managed to get the flag. If Xiao Qiang is really in trouble, how can he be reconciled?

His eyes became darker, and just as he was about to turn around and ask Jun Che, he suddenly heard a slightly joyful voice from behind him, "Your Majesty, someone has come out again!"
