Song Huiyue took the opportunity to win the first place and hung the wild bird on the saddle. She was very happy. Everyone stopped fighting for the first place and started fighting for more. They rode horses and drove dogs, causing a lot of chaos in the forest.
There was an uproar and it took two hours to stop.
Everyone picked up the prey, put away their bows and arrows, and prepared to return home with a full load. Yinxiao tied the escaped horned deer onto the horse, and only the sound of relaxed conversation was left in his ears. Suddenly a gust of wind blew by his ears, and he
Suddenly, I felt something was wrong with the sound reaching my ears.
"Lady!"
Song Huiyue was plucking the tail of a pheasant. When she heard him talking to her in a low voice, she raised her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yinxiao said: "Someone has entered the mountain."
You Song tied the rope aside and laughed after listening to his words: "There are often people hunting in this mountain, especially now that many wild animals have come out. Our family is not the only one in the mountain. Besides, the prince is coming, I have sent people to sweep up in advance.
Again, no one will ambush you here."
After hearing this, Song Huiyue went to see Yin Xiao again. Seeing that Yin Xiao was still frowning, she asked You Song to invite the prince.
You Song saw that the two of them were solemn and their expressions became solemn. He also knew that Yin Xiao had an intuition about danger that was different from ordinary people, so he quickly ran to the prince and whispered a few words.
The others were all talking and laughing over who had more prey. Seeing that You Song and others looked a little strange, they immediately stopped laughing and drew their swords on guard.
Just when everything was silent, Yin Xiao lay down, put his ears to the ground, listened carefully, raised his head and said to Song Huiyue: "It's the sound of horse hooves, not too much."
The hunters don't know how to ride horses, and there aren't just a few people coming in to hunt, which makes them look a bit out of the ordinary.
Yin Xiao buried his head and listened for a moment longer: "No more."
You Song's heart moved, and a chill passed behind his back.
The visitor must have been not close when he first rode on horseback. Now that he has abandoned his horse, he must have reached a relatively close range. The horseback riding makes too much noise, making it difficult for an ambush.
These people were probably trying to catch the King of Jin by surprise when he returned to the village.
Kyoto is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and the situation is more complicated than Tanzhou. There are all kinds of military buildings and artillery workshops here. If someone gets a hard crossbow and uses it in this wilderness, it will be really difficult to prevent it.
"Your Majesty, please mount your horse. Let's change the road and go back to the city!"
He also ordered everyone to tie up the wild animals and leave immediately.
King Jin patted You Song on the shoulder and signaled him not to panic, and asked everyone else to continue talking and not act like they were facing a formidable enemy.
At the same time, he looked at Song Huiyue and Yinxiao.
Song Huiyue was very calm. She gathered the pheasant tails she had pulled out into a pile, tied them with ropes, and waited for departure.
However, Yin Xiao was always within five steps of Song Huiyue. When someone else drew a knife, he put away the long knife, grabbed the hidden sharp knife from under his clothes, held it firmly, and stared with a pair of phoenix eyes, never letting it go.
any crisis.
King Jin walked to Song Huiyue and whispered: "You and I will go our separate ways. Xie Zhou, Tie Zhenshan, and You Song will follow you."
Then he waved to Xie Zhou: "Xiao Ba, put down all these bloody things. You, Master Tie, and You Song will accompany the eldest lady to the mountains. Don't be afraid. Just go wherever you want. Once something happens, blow the whistle."
For faith.”
There are many trees and rocks in the mountain forest, but these are not places that can be used as cover. Instead, they are good places for ambush.
No matter who the people are coming for, it is the best way to separate them, especially after Song Huiyue and others unloaded the prey, there will be no blood traces to be found, making it easier to escape.
On the contrary, there are so many of them, even if they abandon their horses and walk, they can't hide their whereabouts very well.
Song Huiyue knew as soon as she heard that he wanted her to leave first, but also thought that the person coming was not good, so she was worried: "You Song will follow you."
King Jin heard that she was worried, and when he saw that Yin Xiao was on full alert, he was afraid that someone was coming this way, he quickly pushed Song Huiyue away: "Okay, don't worry, there aren't many people on the other side, but you are here, so we can
Distracted.”
After hearing this, Song Huiyue turned around without hesitation and plunged into the dense forest.
Xie Zhou and Tie Zhenshan followed Yin Xiao and merged into the shadow of the trees together.
It was getting late, the Golden Crow was slanting to the west, and the mountains were getting quieter and quieter. Only the noise of horse hooves could be heard behind them. Song Huiyue looked up at the mountain forest while walking, thinking that the person who came must not be Zhang Xutang's people.
Zhang Xutang would never be so careless when doing things.
If Zhang Xutang wanted to kill the King of Jin, he would not just use a few people. Once he did it, the whole world would be shaken, and the mountains would roar like a tsunami.
Especially here, unlike Tanzhou, the trees are dense and it is easy to hide. There are many rocks here. The ambushers only need to ambush from top to bottom. Even if You Song comes to clean up in advance, they may not be able to clean up.
There is no need to use a knife, as long as King Jin appears, thousands of arrows will be fired, and they can be stabbed into hedgehogs.
However, it is also possible that these people are just here to explore the way, and there are more people behind.
Thinking of this, Song Huiyue whispered a few words to Yinxiao. Yinxiao nodded and walked a few steps. He saw a rabbit emerging from the haystack. He raised his hand and stabbed the rabbit with a knife, stabbing the rabbit to the core.
Pulling out the knife, he carried the dead rabbit and followed Song Huiyue again, letting the blood drip all the way.
Tie Zhenshan watched from behind and said to Xie Zhou: "I didn't expect that the eldest lady is also very affectionate and loyal to the prince. If this blood drips, it will attract people."
Xie Zhou nodded breathlessly: "Your Majesty and Sister Yue have a life-or-death relationship."
The two of them were talking while chasing the two people in front of them. Just when Xie Zhou felt exhausted and wanted to rest, there was a sudden heavy sound of wind behind him. Before he could turn around, Yin Xiao suddenly raised his knife and came straight towards him. He was frightened.
He jumped, thinking that Yin Xiao was crazy, but unexpectedly Yin Xiao jumped up to him, pushed him away, then raised his knife and stabbed him, killing the person behind him and knocking him to the ground.
Blood splattered all over Xie Zhou's face.
Xie Zhou almost fainted from the sticky bloody smell, stood up unsteadily, touched his face with trembling hands, wiped out a pair of eyes, and looked at Song Huiyue, the master and servant, lustfully
Cry without tears: "Sister Yue, do you know that the prince asked me to follow you because he knows that I don't like to see blood?"
Song Huiyue nodded: "Bago, stop talking, blood is dripping from your mouth."
Xie Zhou's eyes widened, he opened his mouth and spat out, and then pulled some grass leaves to wipe his face. However, as he wiped it again and again, the smell became more complex. He held his breath, sprayed it out from his nostrils, and then sprayed it carefully from his nostrils.
Breathe in through the nostrils.
Tie Zhenshan smiled and patted Xie Zhou on the shoulder: "Brother, don't you know that these are a pair of evil spirits?"
Xie Zhou lowered his body by half when she patted him, and hehehe said: "Master Tie is humble, so you don't have to be humble. Also, put your knife away and don't poke me."
Fortunately, after getting rid of this person, no one followed, and he encountered mountain spring water, allowing Xie Zhou to wash himself hastily, so as not to suffocate to death on the mountain.
Although the four of them were walking randomly, they kept going up. When the sky turned blue and it was almost dark, they had already reached the top of the mountain.
Song Huiyue stood on a big stone, stood on tiptoe and looked north. She saw a path between the mountains and ridges, no more than three steps wide, winding and circling, like a sheep intestine, stretching out from west to east like a thread in the mountains, with no end in sight.
