The General Said She Didn’t Take a Wife

Chapter 33: spring hunting

Lin Aoxue heard the little thief said that there was a golden key in the embroidery bag, and she immediately raised her vigilance. She felt unbelievable, and quickly reassured herself that she should not be suspicious. The matter has not yet been concluded, and she has never seen the golden key. The golden key in the embroidery bag is not necessarily related to the golden key that Sui Ming gave her.

But she still couldn't help raising her voice, questioning the thief, and asking him which pawnshop he took the golden key in the embroidered bag to. The little thief was so frightened that he didn't dare to hide it, so he hurriedly said:

"It's the Fulai Pawnshop on West Street!"

Lin Aoxue got the exact news, lest it be too late to change, she snorted coldly, kicked the little thief again, and then walked away quickly.

For the rest of his life after the robbery, the little thief saw Lin Aoxue disappear after three or two strokes. He felt that he had really hit a ghost today, and he crawled to the house. At the same time, he made a secret decision in his heart that he would never steal people or things in the future. Find a job that pays slowly but is safe.

Lin Aoxue hurried to the Fulai pawnshop on West Street with her beautiful bag in her arms. Her heart beat like a drum. She felt an indescribable panic in her heart. Even though she comforted herself in every possible way, this should be just a coincidence, but she couldn't restrain her chaotic thoughts. approach another possibility.

Yunyan, what is his identity? If the golden key that was pawned was really related to the golden key in her hand, what role did Yunyan play in it?

Lin Aoxue's mind was in a mess, and she couldn't think calmly at all. She could only rush to the Fulai Pawnshop at a faster speed. As long as she redeemed the golden key, she could see if there was any connection between the two.

Although it was getting late, the streets were bustling for the past two days, and the Fulai pawnshop had not closed yet. Lin Aoxue rushed into the pawnshop, startling the shopkeeper.

"This guest officer, you..."

Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, Lin Aoxue quickly walked to the counter and said sternly:

"About half an hour ago, did your shop have a golden key that was pawned off by a child?"

Lin Aoxue went straight to the point and went straight to the subject.

The shopkeeper was frightened by Lin Aoxue's aura, and almost forgot to think. Fortunately, when Lin Aoxue mentioned the golden key, his thoughts became alive. He had some impression of the golden key, so he nodded and said:

"There are some. Half an hour ago, there was indeed a golden key that was pretended to be."

Lin Aoxue's eyes flashed, and she put one hand in front of the counter and said urgently:

"Show me the golden key!"

I thought it was a matter of hand, but unexpectedly, the shopkeeper turned embarrassed after hearing what Lin Aoxue said. Lin Aoxue frowned and shouted:

"Is there any difficulty?"

The shopkeeper's calf trembled, and he felt that Lin Aoxue's aura was really scary, so he hurriedly explained:

"If you go back to the guest officer, about half a stick of incense before the guest officer comes, the golden key has been redeemed!"

"what?!"

Lin Aoxue was furious and slapped the counter, causing the shopkeeper to almost kneel on the ground. Seeing him like this, Lin Aoxue also noticed that her attitude was too aggressive. She restrained her anger and asked anxiously:

"Who ran it away? Do you remember how that person looked?"

The shopkeeper had a hesitant look on his face. In principle, he should not disclose the information of the guests, but seeing Lin Aoxue's aura, if he didn't say anything, he might have smashed his pawnshop directly, so he moved his throat and bit him. Gritting his teeth, he answered carefully:

"It's a male guest, wearing a bamboo hat, and the little one has not seen this person's appearance."

Lin Aoxue's face was gloomy, and it seemed that she couldn't ask anything more from the shopkeeper's mouth. She resisted her anger and apologized patiently, and turned around and walked away.

Until Lin Aoxue completely left the pawnshop, the shopkeeper was relieved.

Lin Aoxue came out of the Fulai Pawnshop, and on her way back, her mind was in a mess. Numerous conjectures flooded into her heart, and she was suppressed one by one with various forced or reasonable explanations.

Lin Aoxue took a deep breath, the steps under her feet became faster and faster, and she approached the inn before she knew it. She once again took out the embroidered bag that she had just brought back from the thief, pinched it in her hand, and the few plum blossoms came into view, and she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she didn't get back the golden key, at least she could still trust Yun Yan with magnanimity. In any case, she shouldn't be paranoid about it until there is definite evidence.

However, holding the embroidery bag in her hand, she didn't know how to deal with it for a while. If she was told to return the embroidery bag to Yunyan as if nothing had happened, and the contents were gone, Yunyan would most likely be suspicious of her, causing the two People are grieving.

Lin Aoxue hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly. She put the show bag back into her arms, intending to hide the matter for the time being.

Yunyan didn't ask her to go to the little thief to ask for the lost show bag. She took the initiative to look for it, and accidentally touched some secrets, but the golden key did not fall into her hands, and she could stand by and watch for the time being.

A few days after the Lantern Festival, Yunyan seemed to have something important to do, and he had not been seen. Lin Aoxue went to Yanyu Building and did not see Yunyan. Lin Aoxue had even more doubts in her heart, guessing if Yunyan was so busy, whether it had something to do with the lost golden key.

There was no sign of the army going to set off. Lin Aoxue was not in the court and did not know the emperor's arrangements. Guo Wencheng had also stayed in the Guo family's old house and had less contact with Lin Aoxue. Over time, Lin Aoxue became an idler.

Furthermore, because she had already figured out the hidden meaning of the poem Sui Ming told her, since the Lantern Festival, she has also been to Jinquelou, climbed up to the top floor to have a look, and found nothing unique. Just come back.

After that, she occasionally read books to pass the time, or went to the small courtyard of the inn to dance and play with swords, and she lived a very leisurely life.

Originally, she thought that this leisurely life would last until the third prince led the army to set off, and then she would be able to leave for the northern border. Unexpectedly, Bei Chenhe's attendant suddenly visited and invited Lin Aoxue to the prince's palace.

This time was different from the last time. The guard who came to find Lin Aoxue was not the secret guard of the palace, but the official servant of the palace. The visitor went directly to the inn to find Lin Aoxue and took her to meet Bei Chenhe.

When she met Bei Chenhe, Lin Aoxue saluted respectfully. She did not ask Sui Ming and others about the ending. Sui Ming created an opportunity for her to make Bei Chenhe trust her completely. She would not be stupid enough to take the initiative to break it. such a relationship of trust.

Bei Chenhe was still the same as usual, always with a bit of a smile on his face, looking gentle and easy to approach.

He glanced at Lin Aoxue with a smile, glanced over her arm, and asked with a smile:

"How was Lin Qianhu's recovery last time?"

Lin Aoxue's expression did not change, she lowered her eyes slightly and replied respectfully:

"Thanks to the prince's concern, the injury below is almost healed."

Beichen He heard the words, smiled even more, nodded and said:

"That's good. Today, the king seeks you here, because there is one thing I want to ask for your opinion."

Hearing this, Lin Aoxue raised her head suspiciously and looked at Bei Chenhe, but she sneered in her heart. Bei Chenhe, the old fox, had already figured out everything, and she was just called to inform her. But she did not express her thoughts, and asked in a puzzled way:

"What's the matter with your lord?"

Bei Chenhe sat at the table, flipped through a book of documents, and said to Lin Aoxue unhurriedly:

"Your Majesty intends to hold a spring hunting event in these few days. This king would like to invite you to participate and fight on behalf of this king. What is Lin Qianhu's opinion?"

Lin Aoxue knew that Bei Chenhe had already put her into his camp and became a **** in his hands. She was a newcomer to the capital, and her position was not high, so she would not attract the attention of the emperor. It would be much more convenient for her to do things, and Bei Chenhe would not give her to her. The important task of arranging too secret is to test her loyalty and ability step by step.

You must be careful with every move, and if you take a wrong step, you will be doomed.

Lin Aoxue knew this very well, so when Bei Chenhe made a solicitation, she had already made a decision in her heart.

She bowed her head, and her attitude was always respectful. She did not show any resistance to all the arrangements of Bei Chenhe, but obeyed wholeheartedly:

"It's all up to the prince's arrangement."

Bei Chenhe was very satisfied with her attitude, nodded and smiled, then waved her hand to let her go down, and went to the place where Lin Aoxue lived to invite her on the spring hunting day. Lin Aoxue bowed and resigned. After leaving the palace, she went to the Yanyu Building again, but was still told that Yunyan was not in the building.

Lin Aoxue remained calm, and after thanking the servant, she returned to the inn and continued to spend her days leisurely.

The day of spring hunting came sooner than Lin Aoxue expected. It was only three days after she left the palace, and Bei Chenhe sent someone to invite her. Okay, the carriage and horses are ready, and a group of people is ready to go outside the palace.

The emperor wanted to hold a spring hunting event in the imperial paddock of the imperial palace. Mingting Mountain, where the paddock was located, was not far from the capital and could be reached by light car in about half a day.

Beichenhe specially prepared a good horse for Lin Aoxue. What surprised Lin Aoxue was that Beichenling was also going to participate in this spring hunt. Seeing Beichenling riding a horse alone instead of sitting in a carriage, Lin Aoxue had some doubts. , This eldest lady who can't even draw the bow, I'm afraid she's just a foil.

The convoy set off and marched slowly towards Mingting Mountain. Lin Aoxue rode a horse and followed the team, walking unhurriedly. After the Lantern Festival, the weather began to warm up, the snow gradually diminished, the snow began to melt, and the wild beasts in the jungle who had endured the cold winter also came out to look for food.

Although spring has already started, in fact, this is not the best time for spring hunting. Lin Aoxue guessed that the reason why the emperor wanted to hold the spring hunting event before the third prince led his troops on the expedition should be to let the third prince be in the spring. Emerge in hunting activities and accumulate prestige.

When the sun was approaching, the convoy of the Prince Zong’s mansion arrived at Mingting Mountain. There were already palace guards waiting at the foot of the mountain. When the convoy came forward, they routinely checked.

The emperor's chariot will not come until the next day. At this time, many military attachés on Mingting Mountain have already arrived in advance. When the prince arrives, all the courtiers come to see him. Lin Aoxue sees this in his eyes, but he does not move from beginning to end. sound.

In the evening, Prince Zong and his party stayed at the palace outside the paddock on Mingting Mountain. Although Lin Aoxue had a low position, she was able to enter the palace with Bei Chenhe, and lived alone in a guest room like the attendant of the palace.

She took the horse back to the stable, and when she returned to the guest room, she met Bei Chenling on the corridor, Bei Chenling came towards him, Lin Aoxue stopped, and saluted Bei Chenling with a blank face.

Bei Chenling also stopped to look at her. She felt that Lin Aoxue was a little strange. At first, she thought that Lin Aoxue, like those ministers who tended to be flamboyant, was also trying to curry favor with her father, so she tried her best to please her.

But later, she discovered that Lin Aoxue gradually became very different from her impression at that time.

She still remembers clearly what happened on the first day of the new year. If Lin Aoxue really pursued the flames and pursued profit only, she would not have shown such a clear indifference, and finally slapped her face in front of Yunyan.

But if it is said that Lin Aoxue deliberately made this gesture in order to gain Yunyan's favor, it would be even more absurd. Yunyan is just a piano girl in Yanyulou, and her status as the prince's mansion and county master is in the sky and the ground. Lin Aoxue is obviously also Not a real brainless person, there is no need to offend the prince for Yunyan.

Although Lin Aoxue's face did not show anything, Bei Chenling could sensitively feel that Lin Aoxue's seemingly calm face showed disgust towards him.

Lin Aoxue always deliberately distanced herself. If she could take a detour, she would try not to meet Bei Chenling as much as possible. Maybe these actions were because Lin Aoxue was worried about offending Bei Chenling again, so he made a subconscious evasive reaction. Ordinary people would not pay attention to these little things, but they did not hide it from Bei Chenling's eyes.

Beichenling has always been accustomed to silence, and her heart is sensitive and delicate. Because she often falls into contemplation, or is in a daze, she is always alone, so she can see the things around her more thoroughly and clearly.

Lin Aoxue was standing in front of her at the moment, with a respectful face, no alienation or fear, she was usually flawless, and Bei Chenling narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Lin Aoxue."

She spoke softly, Lin Aoxue raised her head, and looked at her deeply and calmly. In those pair of deep pupils, there was no bright light, only sticky darkness and boundless abyss.

"The prince trusts you, but the princess doesn't."

She has been suspicious since Nishiichi came back that day.

Lin Aoxue frowned suspiciously, Bei Chenling's words were really meaningful. She called Beichen He as the prince of the sect, not like a daughter's name for her father, but more like a shallow relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Why is this so?

Furthermore, on the first day of the first day of the new year, she had no doubt completely offended Bei Chenling. It had been nearly a month, so why did Bei Chenhe seem to be ignorant? Could it be that Beichenling didn't tell Beichenhe about her cold-faced confrontation at all?

What is this father-daughter duo playing?

Lin Aoxue couldn't answer Bei Chenling's clear and cold words, her expression was still, her eyes were always calm, there was no explanation, and she was never confused by Bei Chenling's attitude.

Silence easily spreads the contradiction and gives rise to vigilance in their hearts, but they also know that this is not a good place to talk, and they should not quarrel without any scruples.

Bei Chenling walked past Lin Aoxue with a cold face. Lin Aoxue didn't turn around and watched, but straightened her back and slowly closed her eyes. She clenched her fists and slowly loosened them, and when she opened her eyes again, she suppressed the surging waves at that moment, and then she stepped forward, walking behind Bei Chenling, walking farther and farther.

At noon the next day, the emperor's chariot also arrived at Mingting Mountain. In addition, he also brought several adult princes, and the third prince was among them.

Prince Zong led a group of ministers to visit the emperor. The emperor waved his hand, and went through the scene with a few greetings, and said that if it does not rain the next day, the spring hunting will officially begin.

It was a peaceful night. The next day was fine and sunny. All the military attachés who came to participate in the spring hunt were present. Lin Aoxue was invited by the prince of the sect to participate in the spring hunt. Naturally, he stood in the team of the prince.

Guo Wencheng visited Prince Zong the day before yesterday, so he didn't know that Lin Aoxue came to the paddock. When he saw Lin Aoxue with Prince Zong outside the venue, he couldn't help frowning, his face became serious and ugly.

Guo Wencheng, as a frontier military commander, naturally stood on Beichenlong's side. Regarding the situation in Beijing, he was reluctant to participate too much, but Beichenlong wanted to train Lin Aoxue, but Lin Aoxue had something to do with the prince after coming to Beijing. Guo Wencheng felt a little puzzled and disappointed.

As he thought about it, Lin Aoxue was too young. She came from an ordinary commoner's family, and had three years of begging to make a living. She didn't know much about power struggles, and she was in awe of royal relatives and subconsciously clinging to status. Prominent nobles are understandable.

But he couldn't allow Lin Aoxue to develop like this. I'm afraid it would destroy such a good seedling. Therefore, Guo Wencheng secretly decided that after the spring hunting was over, he would find a time to communicate with Lin Aoxue and give her some advice.

The emperor personally presided over the spring hunting activities and set the rules. Within three hours, the hunted rabbits, badgers and other small beasts will be counted as three points, and deer and wild boars will be counted as ten points. The first one will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and another good bow, the second and third will be given five hundred taels of silver, and the fourth and fifth will be given one hundred taels each.

The princes were the first to set off on their horses, and they couldn't wait to show their skills. The third prince took the lead in diving into the jungle, and shot down a running hare with a swish arrow, causing a lot of applause.

Guo Wencheng and other generals also went alone, but Beichenling had to bring a squire to follow because of his special status. Beichenhe instructed Lin Aoxue to take care of Beichenling and let them go together after Lin Aoxue agreed.

Beichenling was obviously dissatisfied with Beichenhe's arrangement. After Beichenhe finished speaking, she turned her head and rode away, with Lin Aoxue following behind, a short distance apart, together with Beichenling, unhurriedly. Run into the jungle.

Lin Aoxue felt strange in her heart. Bei Chenling was carrying a light bow on her back. It was the lightest kind, with a short range. She could only shoot small beasts such as hares, and she didn't seem to know martial arts. It looks like, even if you take a bow and arrow, you won't be able to hunt anything.

In this way, the reason why Bei Chenling came to participate in this spring hunt is puzzling. It is impossible for her to get a ranking in this spring hunt. If it is just to practice archery skills, there is no need to come here so much trouble. Take part in a spring hunt.

Lin Aoxue buried her doubts in her heart, but she was very sensible and did not ask Bei Chenling these questions. Her task today is to follow Bei Chenling, take care of her safety, and symbolically hunt a few small beasts, don't let Bei Chenling Lost so badly.

The Mingting Mountain is very large, the royal family's paddock is even wider, and the forest is silent. The princes and generals who entered the jungle just now have disappeared. Lin Aoxue followed Beichenling, and Beichenling said coldly:

"You are not allowed to shoot today."

Lin Aoxue was stunned for a moment. There was no one around. She naturally knew that Bei Chenling was talking to her, but the content of the words made her very puzzled. She turned her head to look at Bei Chenling and gave no answer.

Bei Chenling didn't care whether Lin Aoxue agreed or not, she didn't say anything, she beat her horse and walked into the woods quickly.

Not long after the beginning of spring, the snow in the forest has not yet completely melted, but the mud road is slippery and the horse is unhappy. Fortunately, the mud is soft and the foot does not make much noise.

Lin Aoxue walked behind Bei Chenling for a while, when the sound of rustling came from the bushes in front of her. Lin Aoxue glanced in that direction and judged that there should be a hare behind the bushes.

She retracted her gaze and didn't take the arrow. Since Bei Chenling said that she would not be allowed to take action, then she would not take action, and let's see what the proud county master plans to do.

Bei Chenling also noticed the strangeness behind the bushes. A sharp light flashed in her silent and deep pupils. She took a deep breath and placed the feather arrow on the light bow earnestly and solemnly. With a focused expression, that was Lin Aoxue. A look that has never been seen before when it was not opposed to it.

Lin Aoxue suddenly tightened the reins, her face tensed, and her eyes looked solemnly at Bei Chenling.

But seeing that the bowstring in Bei Chenling's hand was loosened, the arrow flew out with a swoosh, penetrated the gap between the bushes, and disappeared into the bushes. The little beast behind the bushes struggled for a while and then stopped moving. Lin Aoxue rode his horse over, opened the bushes, and saw that the feathered arrow had accurately hit the hare's head.

This arrow is even more accurate than many soldiers in the battalion.

The shocked look on Lin Aoxue's face flashed away, and then she pursed her lips suddenly, her face tensed, she glanced at Bei Chenling coldly, picked up the rabbit, and threw it on the more conspicuous open space.

Each person's feather arrows are marked with special marks, and each person has thirty arrows, which is naturally endless. Therefore, when the feather arrow hits the beast, the arrow will not be pulled out, and the attendants of its own paddock will come to collect the prey, and at the same time, the score of each reference person will be counted.

After Bei Chenling shot a hare, she didn't stay here for a long time, Lin Aoxue still followed behind her, but at this time, Lin Aoxue's eyes had become complicated. Bei Chenling's behavior became more and more strange, which made her doubts deepen.

She remembered that before her father's accident, she and Bei Chenling were the closest playmates, growing up together as childhood sweethearts.

She likes to dance with guns and sticks, while Bei Chenling prefers to read books. Their silence and movement have also become a joke in the mouths of their parents. Once, she went to Beichenling after she practiced and asked Beichenling why she didn't learn some self-defense skills. Beichenling smiled and told her:

"As long as you learn martial arts well, you can naturally protect me, so why should I study these things?"

And Bei Chenling said that he didn't learn martial arts, so he really never came into contact with martial arts. Even if it's a matter of goodbye now, Lin Aoxue subconsciously thought that Bei Chenling was so delicate and weak that he couldn't draw the bow no matter what.

But the truth was far from what she thought. Bei Chenling did not learn any martial arts, but she was no longer helpless, and she no longer had any ability to protect herself.

Lin Aoxue didn't know why Bei Chenling learned archery and why she wanted to learn it, but this matter really shocked her greatly, making her a little dazed, and even more silent.

Bei Chenling said that Lin Aoxue would not be allowed to take action, but Lin Aoxue really did not participate in the matter. She just followed Bei Chenling quietly, picked out the little beast that Bei Chenling had hunted, and put it in a conspicuous place, waiting for the attendant to pick it up.

Bei Chenling also understands that it is not realistic to hunt even bigger beasts with her own arrow skills, so she always focuses on the badger rabbits and other small beasts. Lin Aoxue roughly estimated that it was about thirty points.

This result must not be considered bad in the entire Spring Hunting event. Almost none of the arrows that Bei Chenling threw missed, which made Lin Aoxue surprised and admired. This admiration has nothing to do with the hatred between them, even among enemies, there is the most common appreciation.

The Lord of Ling County is no longer the Lord of Ling County she used to know.

There was less than an hour left for the spring hunting activities. Beichenling continued to go deep into the jungle. During the period, they also met the princes next to them, but the princes did not care about the small beasts in the bushes. They rushed to chase the bigger prey. It is not uncommon for individuals to hunt a deer around them.

Bei Chenling did not compete with them, and still maintained his own rhythm.

Lin Aoxue remained silent from beginning to end. The closer to the evening, the more vigilant she became. This time the spring hunt was too calm. Although she didn't expect any accidents, she didn't think this spring hunt would be like this. It ended peacefully.

Bei Chenling drew the bow and arrow again, but before the arrow left the string, something changed.

The horse under her seat suddenly became irritable, showing a look of panic, Bei Chenling was startled, and the arrow in his hand flew out with a swish, deviating from the original trajectory. Root's hare suddenly fled out in panic and ran away quickly.

Bei Chenling frowned. Although she felt regret, she was more confused. She patted the horse's neck, put away her bow and arrow, tightened the reins and turned around, planning to find another prey, but she didn't take it to heart.

But at this moment, not far from where the hare was hiding, a ferocious cheetah jumped down from the canopy, flapping its long tail, its eyes glowing green, staring viciously at Beichenling.

Bei Chenling turned pale with fright. As soon as the cheetah appeared, the horse was frightened and completely out of control. It neighed anxiously and raised its front legs, almost throwing Bei Chenling off the horse's back. When it landed again, the horse snapped back to his senses and wanted to escape.

At this moment, the cheetah swooped forward, its speed was faster than that of the horse, and it bit the horse's neck like a bolt of lightning. The horses neighed in the sky, their legs and feet were weak, and they fell to the ground, and Bei Chenling on the horse's back was also in danger of falling to the ground.

The accident happened too fast, and before Bei Chenling could recover, she fell off the horse with a huge force. She could only feel the sight before her eyes, the neighing of the horse and the roar of the cheetah, slamming into her eardrums. , stimulated her senses, the moment she fell off the horse, everything seemed to slow down.

There was an uncontrollable pain in her heart. She felt that she had a lot of regrets in her life. She failed to find out the truth about the destruction of her dear friend's family, and she also failed to get out of the predicament. She died with so much regret and guilt in her life, but she didn't have the face to see the person buried deep in her heart.

She saw a clear and bright sky, vast and vast, no different from what she saw when she was a child. The sky is still the sky of the old days, but people are no longer the people of the old days. The emptiness and melancholy surging in my heart are more confusing than the fear of imminent death.

Before landing, she was pulled by someone, the rapidly shaking scene suddenly stopped, a cold and hard face appeared in her field of vision, that clean profile face coincided with the appearance of her old friend in an instant, making her in a trance , stunned.

Lin Aoxue pulled Bei Chenling's arm and pulled her to fly backwards. The throat of the horse under Bei Chenling's seat was torn. Even though it neighed fiercely and struggled, it still couldn't stop the blood flowing to the ground, under the suppression of the cheetah. Immediately below, you can't move.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Aoxue dragged Bei Chenling and planned to withdraw. Although the incident happened suddenly, the appearance of the cheetah in the royal paddock was really surprising and alarming, and she had a grudge against Bei Chenling, so she could make a point of it, but today is not revenge. Good time for Beichenling.

She couldn't let Bei Chenling die here.

Bei Chenling's expression was sluggish, and she seemed to be in shock. She looked up at Lin Aoxue in a daze, seeing Lin Aoxue's dignified frown, her face no longer had the looming disgust she had seen before. .

Lin Aoxue threw the reins in her hand and got off the horse long ago. She pulled Bei Chenling back on foot. At this time, they could not ride a horse. The other horse also became manic because of the appearance of the cheetah. .

The neighing sound of the horses here alarmed the people nearby. The third prince happened to be the first to come over. When the third prince saw the cheetah appearing in the paddock, he was not afraid, but also showed an extremely excited expression. He hit the horse with a bow and arrow. He rushed towards the cheetah, intending to kill it.

Lin Aoxue was stunned, she stepped back and cursed inwardly.

The three princes quickly drew the bow and took an arrow, and an arrow flew out, but did not hit the cheetah, and was dodged by the cheetah's vigorous body, and this arrow obviously stimulated the fierceness of the cheetah, it roared angrily, and immediately jumped up Get up and pounce on the third prince.

The brave third prince was thrown from the horse by the cheetah, and the horse panicked and ran away quickly.

Lin Aoxue had no choice but to stop her steps to retreat, and urgently told Bei Chenling to flee quickly, then turned around and rushed towards the cheetah. If this beast killed the prince, even if it had nothing to do with Lin Aoxue himself, the emperor was furious. , and she must be cured of her unfavorable crime of protecting the master and buried with the third prince.

Bei Chenling is the daughter of the prince of the sect, so she is naturally safe, but she is just an ordinary thousand households. If such a big incident happened, no matter what the truth is, someone must be the scapegoat. Once the third prince has an accident, the biggest scapegoat today It was Lin Aoxue.

Lin Aoxue's heart was like a mirror. The situation forced her, so she couldn't get out of the way. The matter had come to this point, she could only clean up the cheetah first and make sure that the third prince was fine.

She drew a dagger from the side of the shoe and plunged it into the neck of the cheetah before it bit the third prince. The cheetah was in pain, roared angrily, let go of the third prince, and vigorously broke free from the blade, even though the blood stained its fur, it did not change its ferocity, and turned to attack Lin Aoxue.

Although Lin Aoxue's martial arts are good, in the end, his body is not as good as that of Cheetah. Cheetah is very powerful. Lin Aoxue scuffles with him, and the situation is extremely dangerous.

When the third prince was jumped off the horse by the cheetah, he was already frightened. He was extremely frightened, and later realized that he was acting recklessly. While Lin Aoxue was holding the cheetah, he shivered and retreated, trying to take the opportunity to escape.

It was not until Lin Aoxue pounced on the cheetah again that Bei Chenling finally regained consciousness. The feeling of the rest of her life filled her limbs, but there was no surprise or fear. Her heart was empty, like the cold wind of winter. Pour it in, it's bone-chilling cold.

She watched Lin Aoxue and Cheetah fight hard, and her reason gradually returned to her body. She wanted to follow her words to withdraw, but her feet were as heavy as lead.

The movement in the forest is getting louder and louder, and the sound of horse hooves has already sounded in the distant jungle, and someone will come to help soon. Lin Aoxue stabbed the dagger into the cheetah's neck again, but the cheetah bit her shoulder as if she didn't know the pain.

The sharp fangs in the cheetah's mouth ripped apart the flesh on her shoulders, and the bones shattered, making a sour crunch. For a split second, Lin Aoxue even had a feeling that his arm was about to be bitten off.

Her face was pale, but she gritted her teeth and pulled the dagger down.

The sharp dagger pulled down a huge blood hole from the side of the neck. The cheetah's throat was torn open, and the blood splashed on Lin Aoxue's head. Together with her own blood and flesh, her clothes were dyed scarlet. colour.

The **** mouth that was biting at her shoulder finally relaxed, Lin Aoxue escaped from the leopard's mouth.

Bei Chenling did not escape in the end. She saw Lin Aoxue staggeringly freed from the cheetah's mouth, the cheetah fell to the ground with a thud, and Lin Aoxue was also covered in blood, her tragic appearance, as if she had just climbed out of the blood vat. , It seems that in the next instant, she will die from excessive blood loss.

An indescribable feeling rose from Bei Chenling's heart. She trembled in her hands, and her heart was in a hurry. She involuntarily took a step forward, subconsciously wanting to ask how Lin Aoxue was injured.

Lin Aoxue took two steps forward. Her vision was already dim, and even her footsteps stumbled. She panted hard, her torn shoulders and flesh rolled up, and blood glued the fabric of her clothes to the ripped flesh. She moved a little. It hurts the wound and pierces into the bone.

I thought that everything had settled down and the biggest variable had been resolved. Suddenly, a cold arrow flew out from the grass with a swish sound. The arrow turned into a black sword light and rushed towards the third prince.

Lin Aoxue was seriously injured, and it was extremely difficult for her to even open her eyes, and it was even more difficult for her to catch this sudden cold arrow. Her reaction was slow for a moment, and it was also at this moment that the arrow broke through the air and accurately hit the third prince's knee.

Heartbreaking screams broke out in the mouth of the third prince, and Bei Chenling also showed a shocked and bewildered look on her face. She subconsciously turned her head to look at the arrows, only to catch a glimpse of a dark shadow. Go away and hide in the shadows of the trees.

Many princes and generals finally arrived. The emperor and others outside the paddock panicked when they saw the third prince's car running out of the jungle. The emperor hurried to the forest with a group of entourage and happened to see such a scene.

Lin Aoxue suddenly felt extremely ironic.

Even though she tried her best to kill the cheetah, she was seriously injured, but she still couldn't escape the calculations of others. This cold arrow not only seized the military power of the third prince, but also pushed Lin Aoxue into an abyss that could not be escaped.

The appearance of a cheetah in the royal paddock is inherently strange, and the unmarked cold arrow is even more difficult to guard against.

For almost an instant, there seemed to be a surge of electric light in her mind, and she suddenly understood who was behind all this.

She wanted to sigh and laugh, but her exhausted body did not allow her to show too much excitement.

There is no doubt that this matter was arranged by the prince of the clan, and he invited Lin Aoxue to participate in the spring hunt together, even if he had calculated that with Lin Aoxue by his side, Beichenling would definitely be rescued. If Beichenling was attacked, he could easily distance himself from the relationship. Therefore, the last arrow is also fearless.

In addition, Lin Aoxue guessed that there is another reason for Bei Chenhe's actions, because she has not fully gained Bei Chenhe's trust, and is far less important than Bei Chenhe's other confidants, so she can easily give up.

In this game, Bei Chenhe played beautifully, and she was really inferior.

The emperor had no doubt fallen into the plot. He jumped like thunder, and his angry roar was almost comparable to that of a wild beast in the jungle. He pointed at Lin Aoxue's nose and hurriedly cursed, unscrupulously venting his anger.

Even though Lin Aoxue had done her best, she was still charged by the emperor with an unfavorable charge of protecting the master, and was captured on the spot by a group of Kong Wu and powerful servants. should really take the blame.

The spring hunting event ended early because of this accident. The emperor was not in the mood to decide who won and who lost.

The emperor was so angry that all the ministers who participated in the spring hunting had to stay in the palace for a few more days, waiting for the truth to come out.

Lin Aoxue couldn't know the result of the thorough investigation for the time being. She didn't have much strength to resist, and was easily detained by the emperor's attendants. They pressed her head and pressed her to the ground, waiting for the emperor to scold her and vent her grievances. After getting angry, he waved his hand to let the attendant **** her down and locked her in the dungeon of the palace.

The surroundings were cold and dark.

She had thought that one day she would reveal her identity, be imprisoned, and be taken to Xingtai, facing the vast sky, blood splashed three feet, and the crime was passed down for generations. But she never expected that the reason for her conviction would be so absurd.

The author has something to say: Well~ Although Bei Chenhe is very bad, his methods are really beautiful, but, of course, Xiao Linzi will not be so cold _(:з"∠)_Otherwise the story will not have to be written hhhh~
