Chapter 273 Something happened
Du Shangge couldn't stand the provocation and immediately jumped on his horse, shouting, "Who's afraid of who? Today I'm going to show you how powerful I, General Du, am!"
Of course, this General Du was called out by herself. Although she had been to the battlefield, she had never won any military merit. It was just a joke.
Zhu Qingtang sneered and rode away with her four sisters.
"Sisters! Let's go too!"
Du Shangge was full of vigor and confidence, but when she turned around and saw the three weak sisters, her shoulders suddenly drooped.
Alas, sisters are unreliable. If you want to succeed, you can only rely on yourself.
Neither of the Si sisters could ride a horse, so they could only stand on the ground, carrying a quiver and holding a longbow, and look up at Du Shangge.
This made Du Shangge even more depressed.
Si Muyan stepped forward and warned, "Shangge, none of us can ride horses or shoot arrows. It would be bad if we encounter wild beasts when we enter the enclosure. We won't have any guards or maids with us this time. Shangge, you must stay with us."
Du Shangge nodded vaguely: "I know, I know. I'll lead the way on horseback, so I won't run far. You guys shouldn't run around either. Walk slowly, okay?"
"it is good."
Du Shangge rode ahead, not really paying much attention to Si Muyan's instructions. The girl's hunting grounds were devoid of wild animals; they were filled with rabbits, pheasants, and other such creatures, which had little to no offensive power.
As for the wild beasts in the mountains and forests outside the enclosure, there is no need to worry about them. It's not that the fences are extremely high and ordinary wild beasts cannot pass through. There are also many guards around and patrolling inside the enclosure to ensure the safety of the girls in the enclosure.
Not long after, Du Shangge saw a group of pheasants. She didn't even need to rein in her horse. She shot arrows while riding, and she hit two of them with her first arrow.
This made her very happy.
What a good start! How could the first place today not be hers?
Du Shangge was so excited that she almost forgot she hadn't kept up with her three sisters. It was rare for her to enjoy such a thrilling horseback riding experience, and she just wanted to roam the entire enclosure and take everything in it.
However, he didn't run far before he met Zhu Qingwei.
Zhu Qingwei was alone and hadn't hunted any animals yet, but she was still arrogant. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Du Shangge: "We have hunted three hares and caught many birds. Miss Du is alone, so she needs to work harder!"
Du Shangge looked at the pheasants in the bag behind his horse, and his previous pride disappeared.
There were only so many animals in the enclosure, not enough for her to hunt! Zhu Qingwei and the other five couldn't really compete with her, but hunting birds was no problem for her.
No, she couldn't just give up like that! If it wasn't possible inside the enclosure, what about outside? Sure, there were fences and guards, but with her skills, wouldn't it be easy to get out?
Du Shangge looked at Zhu Qingwei with contempt: "Then we'll wait and see!"
She squeezed the horse's belly and rode away, leaving Zhu Qingwei far behind.
Zhu Qingwei's arrogant eyes cooled down, and she looked at Du Shangge's back with smugness. With such provocation, Du Shangge wouldn't be able to come back for a while, and those three useless guys from the Si family would still be at her mercy, right?
The three sisters walked for a while, only to see a silly rabbit. The youngest sister wanted to draw her bow and shoot an arrow, but the second sister, feeling sorry for the rabbit, wouldn't let her. Before the two could finish arguing, Si Muyan shot an arrow at it...
The arrow missed the target and hit nothing. The rabbit, which was standing there stupidly to be shot, was frightened and seemed to know it had to run away. It jumped and disappeared.
Little sister: “…”
Second sister: “…”
Si Muyan said awkwardly: "I said... I want to let it go, do you believe me?"
The two sisters rolled their eyes at the same time, ignored her, and went to sit on the stone in front to massage their legs.
The second sister said, "When I was in the countryside, I was busy every day and didn't feel tired even if I had to walk so much. Now I've been living a life of luxury for so long that I'm not used to walking such a short distance."
The younger sister nodded. "Yes, it really exhausted me. It was even harder than kneeling and chanting sutras with the Empress Dowager."
"No one is counting on us anyway, let's take a break." Si Muyan said, turning around to pick up his arrow.
At this moment, a group of monkeys appeared from nowhere and headed towards the sisters.
The youngest sister was the first to see it and she yelled in surprise, "Big sister, second sister, run!"
The second sister turned around and saw several monkeys running towards the youngest sister, grabbing their longbows and running away. Another monkey tried to grab her quiver. The second sister took her longbow and swung it, temporarily repelling the monkeys, who then pulled the youngest sister away.
Si Muyan wanted to help them, but she was also targeted by the monkeys, who were running and jumping at an extremely fast speed. She had no time to think and could only run to an open area, shouting for help as she ran.
After the guards appeared and shot two monkeys, and the rest of the monkeys ran away, Si Muyan was helped up.
"Miss, are you okay?"
When the monkeys attacked the noble lady in the enclosure, the guards were very nervous and looked at Si Muyan with concern.
Si Muyan was dazed, and when she came to her senses, she looked around and asked, "Where are my sisters?"
The leader of the team shook his head and said, "Miss, we heard someone shouting and rushed over, but we only saw you, Miss, and no one else."
"There are other monkeys attacking my two sisters." Si Muyan was anxious. After looking for a moment, she pointed to where the sisters had been and said, "Over there, please go and save my two sisters. I am the eldest daughter of the Anle Marquis Si family. I came here with my two sisters. They look similar to me and have blue ribbons on their heads."
The leading guard nodded: "Miss, we will escort you out first."
Si Muyan looked quite disheveled now. The headband on her head had come undone, her hair was messed up by the monkey, and her clothes were torn in places.
But she didn't care about that: "No, there are too many monkeys. My sisters don't know how to shoot arrows and have no power to resist. Please go and rescue them quickly."
Seeing her anxious voice, and knowing that the girls were hunting in the afternoon, the guards had already cleared the enclosure, leaving no wild animals, not even small, aggressive ones that could hurt anyone. The only animals left for the girls to play with were nearly harmless, the largest being a young fawn.
Monkeys, for example, normally don't hurt people, but they are so agile that it's impossible to keep too many of them in the enclosure.
But they had just seen seven or eight monkeys. With so many monkeys, it was certainly more than enough to deal with the girl who had no martial arts skills.
The leader of the guards was not one to take it lightly and ordered the four guards, "First, take the young lady to the rest area. Everyone else, follow me, we'll go find someone. If you encounter another guard team, inform them of what's happening here. We must ensure the safety of the girls in the enclosure."
