Chapter 308: Falling short
Li Yunxing looked troubled.
"What a coincidence. I just promised Ming Jiaojiao to team up with her and win a jade flower hairpin for her. Although I would rather team up with His Highness the Prince, I have already promised someone else, so I can't break my promise."
Zu Rongyu turned his head and saw the famous brother and sister standing not far away. Seeing him here, they looked hesitant and did not dare to step forward.
Zu Rongyu's face was a bit ugly. Famous people were not among the people he wanted to make friends with. Why did they come to participate in this autumn outing?
It was at this moment that he remembered that Shan Qiu seemed to have been obsessed with the girl from Mingjia, so he must have invited the two Mingjia siblings out of selfish motives.
Dan Qiu is lustful and pays attention to freshness. Every time he falls in love with a woman, he acts like he must have her and tries his best to get her. But once he does get it, he abandons her like a pair of shoes.
.
Although Zu Rongyu didn't like him being so lecherous, he felt that being lecherous was not a big problem and would not ruin his affairs, so he didn't say anything about it.
But now, his lustful habit has ruined Zu Rongyu's affairs, so he can't ignore it. He decided to have a good talk with Shan Qiu about the matter later. At least during the critical period when Abu was seriously ill, he could calm down.
, concentrate on doing things for him.
"In this case, Brother Di cannot break his previous promise for me. Then you and I can only become enemies to see who can get the jade flower hairpin."
Li Yunxing laughed loudly. People from the Western Regions are indeed good at riding and shooting, but they cannot underestimate their opponents just because they are good at it.
"Then we'll see."
Qiu Ta's riding and shooting was in full swing, while on the other side, a group of men in black quietly came outside Di Yize's mansion and climbed over the wall to enter. The people who stayed in the mansion were all ordinary slaves and did not know martial arts. They could easily escape
The servants' eyes came to the study room.
These people were the ones who had monitored the situation in the mansion before. They watched Di Yize take the medicine gourd into the study and never took it out again.
It's just that they searched for a long time and never found the medicinal gourd they had seen before.
The few people could only expand the search scope and search in the courtyard. When passing by the woodshed, they heard General Lian's painful groans.
Looking through the window, I saw Lian Zhan huddled in pain, rolling on the ground, his body covered in blood, and he looked haggard.
The leader secretly shouted in his heart, what a vicious medicine.
It's just that no matter how they searched in the courtyard, they couldn't find the medicine gourd, and several of them looked a little ugly.
This was a task that His Highness the Prince personally ordered them to do, and even took the initiative to send Di Yizi away. If they couldn't complete it, His Highness the Prince would definitely be furious, and they would all have to go around without food.
It's just that they have almost turned the whole courtyard upside down. Where can such a big medicine gourd be hidden?
Some people have thought, could it be that there is a secret passage in the courtyard?
These people immediately divided into two groups, one group continued to search in the study, and the other group explored in the yard.
In the end, the two groups of people came together, but both gained nothing.
At this time, they heard the groaning sound in the woodshed again, and several people looked at each other, would they want the gourd to be placed in the woodshed?
So, they secretly came to the woodshed. The door of the woodshed was locked, but the window was open. Lian Zhan fell to the ground, motionless, and looked like he had fainted.
A man entered through the window. Before he started looking, Lian Zhan suddenly jumped up and grabbed the man's neck.
"Who are you? What do you want to do to me? Give me the antidote!"
Others rushed in immediately and worked together to rescue the choked person from Lian Zhan's hands.
However, the movement on their side had already alerted the guards in the mansion. They did not dare to delay and had no choice but to run away.
On the way, everyone was still thinking about how to explain the matter to His Highness the Prince, and where on earth the medicine gourd was placed?
The guards in the mansion disguised as the censor in embroidered clothes rushed up and asked inside through the window.
"General Lian, what happened?"
Lian Zhan stood there quietly, his expression normal, not as painful as before.
He dug out the medicine gourd from the haystack and smiled slightly.
"It's nothing. It's just a few thieves who came in. His Royal Highness has already expected it. Nothing was lost. You don't need to pretend to patrol outside anymore. You must strengthen the guards in the mansion to prevent such mistakes from happening again."
When the censor Xiuyi heard this, he knew that the prince's plan had been completed and those people had returned in vain, so he took the order and retreated.
Zu Rongyu drew his bow and shot arrows on his horse, running wildly, thinking that the people he sent would definitely bring Suixinwan back, and Qiu Ta would also bring all the important officials over this time, and everything was developing in the right direction.
Shan Qiu sat on the main seat, watching Di Yize ride away, his eyes darkened.
"You brat, I'm making you so proud, let's see if you can still laugh after a while."
After a round of riding and shooting, Li Yunxing was not thinking about it and only hunted two rabbits. On the contrary, the charming lady hunted three rabbits, two elk, and a wild fox.
Everyone went back with the prey. Dan Qiu was originally smiling, but when he saw that Li Yunxing was safe and sound, his face suddenly darkened.
What's going on? How come nothing happened to him?
At this moment, a servant suddenly came over to tell him that Dr. Bai fell from his horse and both of his legs were broken.
Dr. Bai was the key target they wanted to win over this time, and he was also the leader of the ministers. Zu Rongyu was in a group with him, and watched helplessly as his horse went crazy and threw him off the horse.
The accompanying medical officer immediately came forward to treat him, but Dr. Bai had lost too much blood and had fainted.
Shan Qiu's face turned pale. He turned to look at his servant, who also had a pale face.
Only then did the two of them realize that for some unknown reason, they had confused Doctor Bai's horse with Di Yize's horse, so they gave the horse in question to Doctor Bai, causing him to fall off the horse.
During the medical treatment, Doctor Bai woke up from the pain and stepped forward to grab Zu Rongyu's hand.
"You, you actually want to harm me! There is something wrong with this horse. You deliberately caused me to fall off the horse..." Before he could finish his words, the man fainted again.
Zu Rongyu was completely confused. Qiuta's horses were carefully selected and the most docile ones were chosen. Especially since the people of the Western Regions grew up on horses. Riding a horse is as simple as eating and drinking. Please pay homage to the doctor.
, although he is old, he will never fall off his horse because of equestrianism.
Is it true that there is something wrong with this horse as he said?
He turned to look at Shan Qiu, and saw that Shan Qiu's face was pale and she knelt down on the ground.
"Your Highness, this is definitely a misunderstanding. There will definitely be no problems with the horse."
