Chapter 139 Hunting
Zhao Wuyou looked at the scars on his face in the bronze mirror for a long time, thinking about what Qin Baiwei said, and suddenly turned around and told the maid next to him, "Go to the forest and find some of the grass that Miss Qin mentioned. Don't let anyone see it."
The maid took the order and left.
About half an hour later, the man came back with a handful of grass in his hand, which was the same shape as the tiger velvet grass Qin Baiwei described.
The maid placed the grass on the small table. Zhao Wuyou picked up one of them and looked at the purple veins on the leaves under the oil lamp. He didn't know whether this grass could really make the horse crazy.
She put the piece of tiger velvet in her hand back, wiped her hands carefully with a handkerchief, and told the maid, "Go and ask the person in charge of the stable which horse will be assigned to the Crown Prince's Consort tomorrow. Say you are the Crown Prince's Consort's personal maid and check the condition of the horse. Mix the tiger velvet with the horse feed for the Crown Prince's Consort's horse."
The maid hesitated and didn't dare to agree. She only timidly advised: "Princess..."
Zhao Wuyou glared at him and said, "What? You don't dare? If you don't dare, then you are useless. I don't keep useless people around me. Useless people don't deserve to live in this world."
The maid did not dare to hesitate any longer, so she had to bite the bullet and stepped forward, grabbing a handful of tiger velvet in her hands, and said with her head down: "I will go right away, and I promise to get the job done."
Zhao Wuyou said "hmm" with satisfaction.
On the second day, at noon, birds were chirping and the morning air was very fresh.
Xie Zhichan closed his eyes and breathed in a breath of fresh air, and suddenly felt refreshed. If there were no annoying people around, he would feel even better.
Li Er, the annoying guy number one, rode over leisurely on his horse. Seeing the guards leading the horses over, he smiled and said, "I'm afraid Master Pei can't ride a horse?"
Pei Yi was sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by Xie Zhichan.
“How come I can’t ride it?”
Li Er looked at Pei Yi's legs for a moment, then returned to Pei Yi's face, sneering, "Your Highness has been sitting in a wheelchair for so long that not only have your leg muscles degenerated, but your brain has also degenerated, right? How can you ride a horse in this state?"
Pei Yi also responded in a cold tone: "Why do you have to let me ride? It's enough for the Crown Prince's Consort to ride."
Under the surprised gazes of the crowd, Xie Zhichan jumped onto the horse, stretched out his hand to Pei Yi, pulled Pei Yi up and made him sit in front of him.
The two of them rode away at the sound of Xie Zhichan's horse.
Pei Yi was dressed in a black suit today, looking handsome and elegant, while Xie Zhichan was wearing a white tight riding suit, looking graceful and elegant.
The two men, one black and one white, rode together on a horse and ran through the lush green mountains and forests, just like an immortal couple in a painting.
Even the married ladies felt a little jealous when they saw this. The Crown Prince's Consort from Prince Yan's Mansion was more free and easy than them even though she married a disabled man.
Qin Baiwei tightly grasped the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, partly out of jealousy and partly out of nervousness.
She knew there was something wrong with the horse, but she moved her lips and finally made up her mind to shut up.
Who made Brother Yi ignore her? If he was lucky enough to survive, she would take care of him all her life. If he was unlucky and went with that woman Xie Zhichan, she would remain faithful to him all her life and never marry.
Lu Xiuzhu walked out of his colleague's tent. The two had talked for most of the night, so they got up a little late.
Seeing Xie Zhichan and Pei Yi riding away on horseback, his lips were pursed into a line, and no one knew what he was thinking.
When he saw Princess Anle coming towards him, he quickly mounted his horse and ran into the woods alone.
Princess Anle saw Lu Xiuzhu hiding from her, and then looked in the direction where Xie Zhichan rode away on horseback. The resentment in her eyes was like a thick fog.
-
The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, creating patches of mottled light and shadows.
Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan rode the same horse, swaying leisurely through the dense forest path.
The rustling of leaves in the wind and the cheerful singing of birds make people intoxicated.
Pei Yi whispered in Xie Zhichan's ear: "Can Ayuan shoot arrows?"
Xie Zhichan thought to himself: I can’t shoot arrows, but I can use a gun, and I never miss a shot.
But when your boyfriend wants to teach you how to shoot, it seems you shouldn't refuse, and it doesn't seem good for your girlfriend to act like she knows everything. This is a good time to warm up your relationship.
She suddenly felt the warm touch on her ear and shook her head, "No."
Pei Yi said: "I'll teach you."
After saying that, he took off the bow and arrow from the side of the horse's back, pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver, put it on the bowstring, took Xie Zhichan's hand to hold the bow and arrow, and pinched the arrow tail with the other hand.
She held her breath and concentrated, looking for traces of prey.
Suddenly, the grass not far away swayed, and a hare could be vaguely seen running through it.
Pei Yi lifted up Xie Zhichan's arm, pulled the bowstring, and with quick eyes and hands, shot an arrow at the hare.
I saw the arrow fly through the air like lightning and penetrate into the grass. After the tail of the arrow made a clanging sound for a while, the grass became quiet. I rode closer and saw that the arrow had accurately pierced the rabbit.
Pei Yi held Xie Zhichan's hand and put away the bow and arrow, smiling and praising: "Ayuan is really amazing, you hit the target with the first arrow."
Xie Zhichan chuckled in his heart, feeling extremely ashamed, thinking that she could have hit the target even if it was fifty meters away. He suddenly felt ashamed on his face, and in his heart he shouted: It's really hard for a former female agent like her to pretend to be useless.
In this peaceful forest, Pei Yi and Xie Zhichan forgot about the chaos outside and enjoyed this rare leisure time.
Pei Yi suddenly leaned close to her ear and said, "Ayuan, turn around for a moment."
Just as Xie Zhichan turned around to look at Pei Yi and Pei Yi's kiss was about to fall on her lips, a black shadow suddenly flashed out.
An assassin dressed in night clothes, with a veil on his face, eyes as sharp as an eagle, and the long sword in his hand reflecting a dazzling white light stabbed towards Pei Yi's back.
Danger came suddenly. In a flash, Xie Zhichan shouted to Pei Yi, "Be careful!"
