Fengqi crabapple

Chapter 194 Grassland Pursuit
It felt like I just took a nap for a while, and it was already dawn.

Xie Ruitang opened his eyes and saw that Haitang was sleeping soundly with her pillow on his arm.She kept all the water she brought with her to drink, but was reluctant to use it to wash her face. Haitang's face had streaks from left to right, as if it had two beards.Xie Ruitang felt affection in his heart and couldn't help but grin. This smile made him sober.

"Prince! The Tatar kings are moving!" He Rui came over and whispered.Everyone stood up quickly.When I walked to the mound, I saw the figure of the King of Tartars moving.

"Follow me!" Xie Ruitang said decisively.You can't spend a night sleeping in the open.He said to Ling Feng and Ling Yun: "You two stand behind and watch them." After saying that, he got on his horse and chased after them.

After the prince left with a group of people, it was finally Ling Yun's turn to criticize his sister: "What do you mean you came out to cause trouble? You are not in danger, you are going to lose the princess, even if I am willing to compensate you to the prince , the prince doesn’t want it either.” Ling Shuang pouted.In front of my brother, I will always be a child.

"Stop talking about her, let's follow her quickly and see where there is water." Haitang interrupted him with a smile: "If you lose her, go to the water source to find it. The King of Tartar and the others are also going there. Looking for water, maybe he will be caught by us."

Ling Feng smiled and said: "Yes, tracking water sources is indeed a way to find enemies in the wild. I can't tell that the Crown Princess is already a veteran!"

Ling Feng and his seven or eight others followed the team not far or near.Haitang took a closer look. Although the grass was no longer as vibrant as it was in summer and had begun to wither and turn yellow, it just exposed the many wild vegetables growing on the grass.It's a pity, I would have known that the pot with a mouth would come out, Haitang thought regretfully.

"Phew!" Suddenly I heard the sound of an arrow, and saw a gray hare falling to the ground not far away.Ling Yun went over to dismount and picked up a hare, hung it on the saddle, patted the saddle and said with a smile: "There are hares to eat tonight."

Yes, you can hunt rabbits when you are free. The rabbits are the fattest at this time.Several people were happily looking for rabbits when Ling Feng suddenly discovered that the large group of people was no longer visible.A Xuanfu town cavalryman smiled and said, "You can't throw it away. There is only one river in the area. If you find the river, you will find the person."

He Rui was also using these words to comfort the prince who couldn't find the princess: "The King of Tartar and the princess cannot be lost. There is only one river in the area. If you find the river, there will be someone!"

"Then hurry up and find the river!" the prince said worriedly.Alas, if you follow me out, you can't tie it to your belt.
Soon, the prince found several people skinning rabbits by the river.After chasing for a day, everyone was tired. When they saw the river, they all went down to the river to wash their faces and drink water. Many soldiers also found a place far away from the princess, not afraid of the cold water, so they took off their clothes and went to the river to take a bath.

He Rui took a few people and took bows and arrows to hunt rabbits nearby. There were many small animals near the water. After a while, they shot many hares and even got a lone yellow sheep.When he carried it back, He Rui was laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

Everyone went to the woods to find dead branches, roasted rabbits and sheep, and had a feast.Haitang also picked up a dozen mushrooms in the woods, washed them and stuffed them into the bellies of rabbits and sheep, and roasted them together on the fire.

There is no spice in Haitang's pocket, but there is a packet of salt.This is not enough!They had to sprinkle it quietly on their own barbecue. With salt, the barbecue suddenly became a delicacy.

Ling Xue is completely convinced by the Crown Princess. No matter how perverted the environment is, she can still make the food delicious. The Crown Princess is by no means an ordinary person!Yan Shiyi didn't want to talk, he was only thinking about waiting to eat meat.

"If we can't catch them tomorrow, we will go back. The dry food is almost gone. More than 2000 people cannot live by hunting hares." Xie Ruitang said, touching Haitang's dirty face.Ever since he saw Cheng Haitang, he felt that there was no need to chase the Tartar King and he should turn around and return to Xuanfu.

"Each of us doesn't have many arrows left. If we use them all the way, we can only fight hand-to-hand when we catch up. This is indeed not a wise move." Xie Yuanhu nodded in agreement.Now he felt that it would be a good idea for Haitang to retrieve the arrow after shooting the enemy.He Rui looked at the flowing river water and observed it for a long time.He suddenly said: "Our whereabouts may have been exposed. If they also find this river, they should be downstream of us. Prince, we must beware of Tatar sneak attacks tonight."

Xie Ruitang took Haitang's hand and took her to the river to wash her hands and face.Xie Ruitang patted her head and said, "Don't be afraid. You are short. If the sky falls, I will hold you up. I will guard you tonight, so you can sleep peacefully."

"Fool, I should be the one guarding you and letting you sleep. Anyway, no matter how energetic I sleep, I can't beat the King of Tartar, right?" Haitang laughed, feeling a little unconvinced: Am I short?

"You all go to sleep, they will be watching over you." The prince leaned against a tree with his eyes closed and his arms folded on his chest, calmly interrupting their flirting.

The sounds of people all around stopped, and the insects in the grass were singing happily. The strong bonfire reflected on the half-dreaming faces, as if they were beating the rhythm of the gurgling river.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp," a strange bird call woke everyone up. Just when Xie Ruitang was about to ask, He Rui pursed his lips and shouted, "Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp."

Another voice came from across the river: "Chirp."

He Rui came over and explained in a low voice: "Across the river is the territory of Wala. Just now the Wala people asked us who we were. I said we were from the Celestial Dynasty. They understood that we are friends, not enemies."

Cheng Haitang, who suddenly understood, smiled, pushed Xie Ruitang next to him, and said, "The son-in-law of Wala is over there, we are not afraid!"

Xie Yuanzhu glanced at her secretly, pretending not to hear, and turned to the other side: This woman really doesn't want to open or lift any pot.

"Get some more sleep!" Xie Ruitang gently patted her cheek.Haitang twisted, and whispered with some embarrassment: "I think... it's convenient..." Xie Ruitang's face wrinkled, there were a lot of big men around him, how convenient is this?

When Shuang'er heard this, she stood up quickly and said, "I'll accompany you to the woods, it's dark inside, you can't see."

Xie Ruitang also stood up and walked to the woods with them.Shuang'er went to take a look first, and found that there was no problem, so she waved to Haitang.Before Haitang went in, Xie Ruitang reminded her in a low voice to hurry up.Ling Yun also came over and, together with the prince, turned his back to the woods and looked around cautiously.

Haitang finished her work and was walking out from behind the bush. She had just taken a few steps when suddenly there was a sound of branches behind her.A man strangled Haitang's neck with his arm from behind, and pressed a cold dagger against her chin. Haitang couldn't help but scream.

"what!"
