Xie Mingxi's expression changed and she turned around quickly.
A white shadow passed through the forest.
Fang Ruomeng and Lin Weiwei only felt a white shadow flashing past their eyes, and couldn't tell what the white shadow was. However, Xie Mingxi had already seen the prey clearly.
It's a white deer!
Wild deer are common in the mountains and forests, but white deer are extremely rare. It is also a good sign to catch a white deer during hunting.
Xie Mingxi didn't have time to think too much and chased after him reflexively.
Lin Weiwei and Fang Ruomeng chased after each other without thinking.
The accompanying guards were scattered around, but when they saw the white deer leaping past their eyes, they did not nock their bows or arrows.
They are responsible for guarding the safety of the girls. They will only take action when the prey is fierce and endanger the safety of the girls. The rest of the time, they are just like shadows.
The white deer was very dexterous and fast, jumping and running in the forest, running dozens of meters away almost instantly. If the white deer was not particularly eye-catching among the green, Xie Mingxi would have lost it long ago.
Xie Mingxi became eager to win and ran and chased without hesitation.
After practicing martial arts with Mr. Lian for nearly three years, she is not as skilled as the Sixth Princess, and her swordsmanship is not as good as Yin Xiaoxiao. However, she has practiced the lightness kung fu extremely well. She has no chance to show it off on weekdays, but today she used it with all her strength, like a light smoke.
In a few breaths, Xie Mingxi left Lin Weiwei and Fang Ruomeng behind.
Lin Weiwei was born with a weak body. After practicing Sheyu for three years, her body was much stronger than before. However, she could not sustain such strenuous exercise for long. She soon became out of breath and had to stop and rest.
Fang Ruomeng also stopped.
During this break, the white deer had already fled deep into the dense forest.
Xie Mingxi also disappeared.
"Thank you, sister, for chasing Bailu alone. Will everything be fine?" Lin Weiwei wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeves, her eyes showing worry.
Fang Ruomeng smiled and reassured: "Don't worry! Thanks to my sister's skill, nothing will happen. Besides, there were several guards who followed me just now. Even if some wild beast suddenly appeared, the guards would also
We will take action promptly."
This is true.
Lin Weiwei felt relieved. After resting for a while, she and Fang Ruomeng followed the trail.
…
The dense branches and leaves blocked the bright sunshine. Although it was almost noon, there was no warmth in the forest, but a bit of bone-chilling coolness.
Xie Mingxi is not cold at all.
After chasing a stick of incense with all my strength, blood surged all over my body, my cheeks were red, and my forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
She was not tired, and her sharp eyes were fixed on the white deer running in front of her.
The white deer is born in the mountains and forests, and its speed and endurance are amazing. If you keep chasing like this, you can't catch up even if you run for half a day. It is simply impossible to catch the white deer alive.
Xie Mingxi took a deep breath, stood still, quickly pulled out an arrow from the quiver, set up the bow and shot. The marked arrow came out of the string.
At this moment, another arrow flew in the sky.
The two arrows shot the white deer together.
The white deer neighed, two balls of blood splashed everywhere, and fell to the ground slumped.
who is it?
Xie Mingxi frowned and looked over.
…
There was a sound of footsteps in the dense forest. Judging from the footsteps, there were at least three or four people in this group.
After a while, this group of people appeared in front of them.
The leader was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, dressed in sky-blue military uniform, with a tall and slender figure. He had a noble demeanor, a handsome and cold face, and his eyes were as cold as ice.
He is actually the fourth prince.
The two young men accompanying the fourth prince, one as gentle as jade and the other handsome, were none other than Lu Chi and Sheng Xuan.
Among the four young masters of Songzhu, only Li Mo was missing.
Xie Mingxi frowned slightly, then calmed down immediately, and stepped forward to salute and say hello: "I have met His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."
The fourth prince glanced coldly: "Why are you here?"
Xie Mingxi responded with neither humility nor arrogance: "I have chased the white deer till this point."
White deer?
The fourth prince's eyes flashed, and he moved his gaze away from Xie Mingxi's face and landed on the white deer.
The white deer was hit by two arrows. One of them landed on the leg, which was not fatal. The other arrow hit the throat. It was obviously this arrow that killed the white deer.
The arrow in the leg is in front, from Xie Mingxi's hand.
The arrow at the throat is from the hand of the fourth prince.
In terms of sequence, this white deer should be Xie Mingxi's prey... However, this white deer is quite rare. Anyone who hunts a white deer today will definitely be in the limelight.
The fourth prince looked over again: "This white deer was killed by two arrows. How do you think Miss Xie should distribute it?"
Speaking of "distribution" is obviously a polite way of saying it. If you are sensible, you should respectfully present the white deer at this time. The reasons are all ready. The arrow that killed the white deer came from the hands of the fourth prince, so it should be the fourth prince.
The prince's prey.
It's a pity that Xie Mingxi is not sensible.
"The rules of spring hunting are that whoever shoots the prey first wins first." Xie Mingxi said simply and neatly: "I shot this white deer first. I have to be sorry for your highness!"
Fourth Prince: "..."
A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the fourth prince. It hindered the prince's self-esteem and his pride as a man, and it was inconvenient to argue with Xie Mingxi.
At this time, it was Sheng Xuan and Lu Chi's turn to speak.
…
Sheng Xuan glanced at Xie Mingxi silently and remained silent.
For more than two years, he has kept in mind his grandfather's teachings and has been avoiding Xie Mingxi intentionally or unintentionally. The two have almost never met again. Today, they suddenly reunited. The young girl in his memory has grown up.
Elegant and beautiful, with picturesque features.
Slender, graceful and beautiful.
There is no doubt that Xie Mingxi has grown into a beauty that all men cannot take away their eyes from.
However, what he liked most was the way she looked three years ago. Now that she has grown up, the things that made him most attracted to her have disappeared quietly. He was inexplicably relieved.
Xie Mingxi has become famous now, and may become the prince's concubine in the future. It is better to avoid provoking as much as possible.
Lu Chi was about to open his mouth, but suddenly the words of his grandfather flashed through his mind.
There is no harm in making friends with the fourth prince, but you must not be involved in the dispute over the heirloom... The fourth prince, regardless of his demeanor, wants to fight for this white deer, just to suppress the third prince on the first day of spring hunting...
The words on Lu Zhanchi's lips were swallowed back.
There was silence.
The fourth prince didn't wait for the two people behind him to open their mouths, and felt a little unhappy. Looking at Xie Mingxi in front of him who insisted on the white deer, he felt even more annoyed.
Xie Mingxi, I remember you!
The fourth prince stared at Xie Mingxi expressionlessly, turned and left.
Lu Chi was about to turn around when a very familiar girl's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Thank you, sister!"
Then, the pretty girl who was panting from running appeared in sight.
Lu Chi's eyes lit up and he raised the corner of his mouth: "Sister Lin, I didn't expect to meet you here by chance."
The girl with a flushed face and out of breath was Lin Weiwei. The slender and delicate girl beside her was Fang Ruomeng.
