My Princess Has Been Reborn - Chapter 107
Qi Yang and the others didn’t care about Wei Wang’s safety. After all, the relationship between the two parties was not so good. But in this troubled autumn, he really can’t let him get into trouble easily, otherwise the impact will happen after another, and no one knows what it will develop.
The most important point is that the prince is responsible for the safety of the hunting ground this time. Although the grandson was the first to be attacked by the tiger, he was not hurt when he met Qi Yang. Instead, he won the emperor’s reward for shooting the tiger. If something goes wrong, even if the fault of King Wei is entirely his own, it is hard to guarantee that no one will reverse the right and wrong and pour dirty water on the prince.
Qi Yang felt a headache after thinking about it, and Lu Qipei also felt that he couldn’t just sit back and wait. Therefore, after the two returned to the camp, they looked at the map and analyzed it, and roughly inferred the possible location of King Wei.
After a while, Qi Yang looked at the map drawn by Lu Qipei and said: “There should be Yulin searching nearby, but I am not at ease. Send some people to look for it. Find someone earlier, and everyone is fine. Peace of mind.”
Lu Qipei nodded, thought for a while and said, “I want to go there in person.”
Qi Yang frowned upon hearing this, and grabbed her hand and said: “It’s dark outside, and I don’t know if there are other dangers in the hunting ground. What are you going to do?” She said, lowering her voice slightly: “Wei How is the king important to you!”
Lu Qipei didn’t want her to say such a thing. He was slightly surprised, and a warm smile immediately appeared in his eyes. It’s just that although the smile climbed up her eyebrows, she insisted: “It’s okay, I’ll take more people. Wei Wang’s accident is unusual. They are all busy searching for people. Maybe they don’t care about the others. I’ll see. See what clues may be found.”
After speaking, seeing Qi Yang still full of disapproval, Lu Qipei held Qi Yang’s hand backhand, his eyes seemed to gleam under the candlelight: “Aning, believe me, I think I will find something this time.”
She is so persistent that people can hardly refuse.
In the past, Lu Qipei always indulged Qi Yang, and she agreed to everything she said. But now, Qi Yang can’t seem to refuse the determined Lu Qipei, so in the end she lowered her eyebrows and compromised: “If that’s the case, then go.”
Lu Qipei’s brows loosened when he heard this, but he heard Qi Yang continue to say, “I will be with you.”
This is very bad. Lu Qipei, who had just vowed to say that there was nothing in the middle of the night, and dared to enter the hunting ground with some people, suddenly became worried, and he refused to hold Qi Yang. As a result, before she could speak, Qi Yang covered her mouth: “I’ll be with you, otherwise no one will go!”
Lu Qipei looked at her, and the firmness in the eyes of the princess was not less than before. Knowing that this is probably Qi Yang’s bottom line, Lu Qipei hesitated again. After a long time, he stretched out his hand to pull Qi Yang’s hand off, nodded and replied: “Let’s go together.”
Qi Yang smiled, and he relaxed. However, looking at Lu Qipei’s resolute appearance, Qi Yang vaguely felt that she was probably confident that she insisted on going out, but she did not know where her confidence came from?
I wanted to ask, but decided to come back after hesitating.
The rules of the princess mansion are that there are eight hundred soldiers, but when they go out hunting, no one will bring all the guards at home. Qi Yang and Lu Qipei only brought dozens of attendants on their trip, and after the ones who were injured by the tiger at noon, they gathered fifty people to accompany them.
A group of people lit a torch and headed for the hunting ground mightily, which shocked many people. However, Qi Yang and the others walked fast, plus many people have entered the hunting ground to find King Wei, and there was no Yulin blocking the way outside the hunting ground. When the emperor got the news and sent someone to stop him, the group had already entered the forest and couldn’t easily catch up.
The night is deep, the shadows of the trees are heavy, and the howls of wild animals come from time to time, and the hunting grounds at night are a bit terrifying.
Qi Yang and Lu Qipei rode horses, carefully guarded by the attendants. After entering the hunting grounds, the group had a clear goal, and without delay on the road, they went straight to the place Lu Qipei had previously marked on the map.
Halfway through, they ran into two teams, both of whom were looking for King Wei. They were a little surprised when they met Princess Qiyang and the horse, and they were still wondering when they left: When did His Royal Highness and King Wei have such friendship, and they came to look for someone late at night? !
When they reached the depths of the forest, there were more Yulin and other people looking for people, and the forest was dim, but no one noticed them.
Qi Yang and Lu Qipei didn’t care about this either. The two rushed all the way to the place where King Wei and his attendants had left, and they found nearby Yulin to confirm. After Lu Qipei got the affirmative answer, he turned over and dismounted, and then held a torch to search the neighborhood little by little.
Some attendants were unclear, so he asked his companions in a low voice, “This black lamp is blind, what is the horseman looking for?”
The companion stared at Lu Qipei’s movements, his eyes were bright, and he whispered back: “Maybe we are looking for some clue. Our man horse is Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who knows most about investigating the case, he must be looking for the trace of King Wei. I didn’t see it. So many people are looking for it, but I have not found anyone until now, so I still have to have a clue target.”
Hearing this, the attendant nodded his head deeply, and looked at Lu Qipei with two more expectations and admiration.
The conversation between the two was not loud, but it was silent late at night, and everyone around could hear it. Including Qi Yang, who was not too close, she took a few steps forward towards Lu Qipei, and then whispered when she reached her: “What are you looking for?”
Lu Qipei had already used the torch to illuminate the ground nearby. At this time, he was pinching a little dirt on the ground and smelling it. When she heard Qi Yang’s words, she raised her head to say something, only to see dozens of nearby eyes staring at her, their eyes burning.
When he reached his mouth, he swallowed it back. Lu Qipei threw away the soil in his hands and stood up, raised his hand and pointed forward, and said, “Let’s go, let’s look in this direction.”
Qi Yang had a tacit understanding with her. Seeing her like this, he knew that it was difficult to speak to outsiders. Of course she wouldn’t ask again, just as if she hadn’t said anything before, and after taking the reins from the attendant, she turned over and jumped onto the horseback.
Lu Qipei led the way, followed by a group of people, walking and stopping.
When an attendant saw that Lu Qipei had walked for a while, he dismounted to investigate, and from time to time he twisted the dirt to smell it, so curiously, he dismounted and secretly squeezed the dirt. It was a pity that I could only smell the smell of soil and the decay of dead leaves, but found nothing else.
The group of people was confused in this way, and as Lu Qipei drifted away, they slowly got out of the scope of everyone’s search.
I don’t know how long and how far they have gone. When Lu Qipei stopped the horse again, suddenly a good-sighted attendant said, “Is there something on the ground ahead?”
When everyone heard the words, they raised their eyes and looked closely. Sure enough, there seemed to be an unusual black shadow under the big tree ahead.
In this late-night hunting ground, everyone’s mind is tense. After all, the danger of a tiger in the afternoon makes people alert. Who knows what dangers lurking in the mountains and forests at night?
Therefore, when the dark shadows were discovered, the attendants raised their bows and held the knives, and some even stepped forward to protect the princess and the prince. They were already fully defensive.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement, Lu Qipei took the initiative and threw the torch in his hand toward the front.
The torch fell on the ground, sparks splattered, and in a short while, a litter was lit. Then that group of black shadows also revealed the true face of Mount Lu, as expected, it was not a tree root rock, but a deadly healthy horse!
There is nothing scary about a dead horse, especially that one has already been burned, and if a beast is hidden, it will be alarmed. Seeing the calm in the distance, the attendants were relieved. At the moment, they separated the two and stepped forward, jumped off their horses and stepped on the flames that were not yet in full swing, and then held the torch to check the dead horse. Finally, he hurriedly returned to report: “The dead horse seems to be King Wei’s mount!”
The fact that Wang Wei rode a prairie alien and threw down his attendants had already spread. The difference between this alien horse and ordinary horses is also quite obvious. Not to mention, it is easy to recognize that it will be bigger than a bare head.
Qi Yang was startled when he heard the words. He immediately took a look at the crossbred horse that had fallen dead on the ground, and then looked around: “Go and see if King Wei is nearby!”
The attendants promised and quickly dispersed, sporadic fire light illuminating the surrounding dark forest.
Lu Qipei also came to the dead horse. She got off the horse and picked up the torch on the ground, followed the dead horse’s sensible check, and finally raised her head and said firmly to Qi Yang: “It was poisoned.”
The unexpected answer made Qi Yang’s face even harder to look. She looked around and saw that the attendants were far away, so she lowered her voice and asked Lu Qipei, “Do you know what’s going on?”
Lu Qipei also glanced around, but said softly, “Go back and talk to you.”
Qi Yang was very curious, but he didn’t ask anything. Lu Qipei checked the neighborhood for a while, and all the attendants who had scattered to find people came back. Unfortunately, the result was not satisfactory. They did not find King Wei at all.
Lu Qipei first turned on his horse, then pulled on the reins and said, “Turn back on the original road.”
Before Lu Qipei was able to find the dead horse all the way, everyone was convinced of her, and immediately followed suit without saying a word. But this time without her reminding, everyone knew that they had to slow down and observe the way.
Probably because of the clear goal, the eyes of the attendants in the princess mansion were also sharp, and it took only a quarter of an hour to find an abnormality. The attendant immediately stopped everyone, Qi Yang and Lu Qipei also dismounted to check, and finally found that there was a steep **** under the bushes on the roadside. The bushes have traces of crushing, but they are not conspicuous in the dark, but they are very conspicuous when they are illuminated by a torch.
Qi Yang took two steps forward, subconsciously looking down the steep slope.
Lu Qipei was shocked, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her: “Your Highness, be careful, don’t fall!”
Qi Yang was pulled back by her, but it didn’t make any difference if she didn’t look at it. There was a lot of darkness below, and she couldn’t see anything at all. Qi Yang calmed Lu Qipei, then turned to the attendant and said, “Go down and take a look at the two of you. Be careful.”
The attendant is ready to quickly remove the bushes and go down the slope.
