Qin Zhao had no objections. For a novice like her, it was just fine to fight on the sidelines. She couldn't even deal with a hare, let alone a jackal, tiger, or leopard?
Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce continued to go deep into the jungle, and soon Qin Zhao saw a wild boar in the bushes. This time she did not dare to take action without permission, and signaled Xiao Ce to shoot.
After the two made eye contact, Xiao Ce shot an arrow. The arrow was impartial and could have hit the boar's leg.
The wild boar's leg was injured and it was running around but couldn't get far. Xiao Ce fired another arrow and this time it hit the wild boar's belly.
Qin Zhao felt that she could let her play freely now, so she shot an arrow, and this time the arrow just hit the other leg of the wild boar.
"This is my concubine's prey." Qin Zhao said before Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce followed her words and said, "This is Zhao Zhao's prey."
Qin Zhao was satisfied with his success and ordered his guards to put the wild boar away. Although he had only benefited from Xiao Ce's success in his first try, Qin Zhao felt that he had made a contribution.
After that, Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao continued to drive deep into the jungle. They didn't see any prey along the way. Qin Zhao listened carefully to the sounds around her. She only heard the howling mountain wind.
"Is it because of what happened last night that the emperor was worried about leaving my concubine alone, so the emperor took my concubine hunting?" Qin Zhao asked in a low voice.
Xiao Ce looked far away and saw only the swaying shadows of the trees. He whispered back: "You have always been smart, and I can't hide anything from you. However, I do want to take you hunting myself. Such an opportunity is rare."
He didn't trust Qin Zhao to others. Otherwise, what would he do if something happened to Qin Zhao?
He was just glad that yesterday's game was directed at him.
"I will do my best to protect myself. When the critical moment comes, the emperor will just take care of himself." As soon as Qin Zhao finished speaking, he saw a tiger coming out of the jungle.
The moment Xiao Ce saw the tiger, he immediately protected Qin Zhao behind him: "You hide behind me."
Before Qin Zhao had time to respond, Xiao Ce stretched out his hand towards her: "Come here!"
Qin Zhao knew that Xiao Ce was worried about her, so she held Xiao Ce's hand, landed lightly in front of Xiao Ce, and rode with him.
The tiger didn't panic when he saw the person, and roared at Xiao Ce. The next moment, Xiao Ce fired an arrow, and the arrow hit the tiger's left eye, which completely angered the tiger.
Just at this moment, several tigers rushed out of the jungle and looked at Xiao Ce eagerly.
"Why are there so many?" Qin Zhao's palms were sweating and he felt something was wrong.
Logically speaking, it would be difficult to encounter even one tiger while hunting, but there were several tigers in front of them. This was contrary to common sense. It was not possible that they accidentally dug into the tiger's den.
To change the way of thinking, if someone deliberately killed these tigers, who is Xiao Ce waiting here?
Especially when the injured tiger suddenly rushed over like a madman, Qin Zhao felt that something was wrong even more.
"Something's wrong, let's run!" Qin Zhao shouted.
Xiao Ce seemed to have been prepared for it. He raised his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Kill without mercy!"
As soon as he gave the order, the guards behind them all dismounted. The swords held by the guards looked like Yongchun swords. Qin Zhao knew that these guards were sent by Jin Yiwei.
This group of guards are all practiced with deadly moves, and they are all killed together. They seem to be desperate for their lives, even regardless of their own safety, just to stop and kill these tigers that suddenly appear.
In just a quarter of an hour, the battle was over.
The scene was filled with the strong smell of blood. Xiao Ce was worried that Qin Zhao would not be able to adapt to such an occasion, "I will take you back."
Qin Zhao nodded silently and walked back under the leadership of Xiao Ce.
It wasn't until the strong smell of blood dissipated that Qin Zhao broke the silence: "Have you expected this to happen?"
Those tigers couldn't have appeared by chance, someone must have done it deliberately. If she encountered these tigers, she would be torn apart and swallowed by them.
"The hunting ground has always been prone to trouble. If someone really wants to do something to me, this is a good opportunity. I'm just prepared!" Xiao Ce opened his lips calmly.
Qin Zhao nodded clearly: "This time the other party did it without leaving any trace. Have you ever experienced such an occasion when you were the prince?"
"Fortunately, not much." Xiao Ce said so and tightened his arms around Qin Zhao.
After returning to the palace, the guards also checked several tigers and found that the tigers had not been drugged. In other words, even if the appearance of these tigers was man-made, they could not find enough evidence to prove it.
"I can guarantee that the injured tiger was drugged. It may be that the effect of the drug in their body disappeared as soon as they died, so there is no evidence." Qin Zhao expressed his conjecture.
After all, blood samples cannot be analyzed and tested like in modern times.
"If it's like what you said, then this person is very smart. After the failure, I will check and the tiger has already calculated it." Xiao Ce thought thoughtfully.
"Aren't they the same people who come and go? One is Seth and Princess Yongning. These two are the most suspicious." Qin Zhao said in a deep voice.
"Do you think Prince An won't attack me?" Xiao Ce suddenly asked.
Qin Zhao was stunned. She did not associate this matter with Xiao Yi at first. Just because Xiao Yi saw the romantic appearance of the dancer last night, she subconsciously felt that she was just an unlearned person.
The romantic prince.
"Prince An also has a motive for taking action." Qin Zhao said seriously.
"It's a pity that I didn't leave any evidence, so I had to suffer the loss of being dumb." Xiao Ce opened his lips indifferently, and there was no hint of displeasure on his expression.
"No matter who did it, this time it ended in failure. If he still wants to attack the emperor, sooner or later the traces will be exposed." Qin Zhao said and hugged Xiao Ce's arm tightly: "Anyway, I will always be with the emperor.
."
Xiao Ce pressed a kiss on Qin Zhao's forehead, and Qin Zhao blew a rainbow fart again: "I can only blame you for being too good, and everyone wants to be you, so they resort to dirty tricks to deal with you.
.My man is the most powerful man in the world, bar none!"
"Your little mouth is really good at talking." Xiao Ce smiled.
With her by your side, all your depression will be gone.
He thought that a large part of the reason why he was hated by others was because he had Qin Zhao.
One is Seth, one is Zhao Yu, and the other is Xiao Yi. None of these three is outstanding, but they all have never forgotten Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao held the idea of talking more if she could speak, so she praised Xiao Ce again. From appearance to figure, and from figure to political achievements, she praised Xiao Ce so much that Xiao Ce was left with nothing.
Yue also disappeared without a trace, and the unpleasantness that happened during the hunt was forgotten in the blink of an eye.
After that, Xiao Ce, accompanied by Qin Zhao, went to the dragon chair in the venue and sat down, waiting for many hunters to offer their prey.
