Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 207
That night, go to the hunting ground on the outskirts of the capital.

A black shadow flashed across the night sky, without attracting the attention of the patrolling soldiers, it got into one of the tents, went in, and faced Baili Zonglu who was still sitting in front of the desk.

Baili Zonglu said without looking at anyone, "How's the investigation going?"

The man in black hastily lay down on the ground: "My lord, my subordinates have found out that it was two deserters who kidnapped Mr. Situ that day. Mr. Situ wanted to go to Jin Wuhuan's business to ask about Ye Mingzhu."

"Jin Wuhuan?" Baili Zonglu read the name softly, and then said: "Jin Wuhuan and Ah Jin are very close."

This was not a question, but an affirmative sentence. The lying man in black couldn't answer, so he chose important information to answer: "Young Master Situ once appeared in Xiatang County, and then disappeared."

"Trash." Baili Zonglu was slightly annoyed. His people couldn't find Situ Tiannan. Seeing that the scientific test was right in front of him, Situ Tiannan could be regarded as an important chess piece for him. If he was pulled out so easily , How could he swallow this breath, and, this kind of thing happened, presumably there was a black hand behind it.

Thinking of this, a trace of cruelty flashed in Baili Zonglu's eyes, how could he tolerate any obstacle that tried to block his footsteps.

"Subordinates are convicted."

"I'll give you another three days. If Situ Tiannan doesn't show up in the scientific examination, you don't need to come back." Baili Zonglu said lightly.

The man in black trembled, still bowing to the ground respectfully: "Yes, this subordinate obeys."

In the early morning of the next day, Huo Mingzhu woke up early. Being so close to Baili Zonglu, she couldn't sleep well, so Sulu quickly helped her to freshen up, and she didn't pay much attention outside. , then out of the tent.

"Ah Jin, it's so early." As soon as he got out of the tent, the voice of the silly prince rang out, and Huo Mingzhu sighed in his heart, how did the silly prince know that she woke up at this time.

"See His Royal Highness."

"Don't be too polite, look, just now I saw many small yellow flowers on the edge of the forest, thinking that such a tenacious little flower, Ah Jin must like it, and its appearance is also very pleasing." The silly prince offered a treasure. Pass over a bunch of wild chrysanthemums in your hand.

The corner of Huo Mingzhu's mouth moved.

This silly prince must have been stunned. When he went to Beijing, he would send this or that all day long, even dishes, and they could be carried directly from the palace to the general's mansion. Ueno chrysanthemum was given to her.

This kind of stupidity made Huo Mingzhu angry and funny, but on the surface, she couldn't laugh, so she respectfully took the bouquet of wild chrysanthemums: "Thank you, Prince, for the reward."

"Ah Jin likes it."

"I like it very much."

"That's good, there's more there, I'll just pick them up for Ah Jin." As soon as the silly prince heard that Huo Mingzhu liked it, he was ecstatic to pick more.

Huo Mingzhu hastily stopped: "His Royal Highness, wait a moment, this little flower loses its vitality after being picked. These little flowers are the most beautiful in this mountain forest. If you don't believe me, look there." Just pointing at a certain place, there are many small wild chrysanthemums there, it is really beautiful.

The silly prince's face was a little flushed, Huo Mingzhu didn't want to get into the reason, so he heard the silly prince say: "If Ah Jin thinks it's best not to pick, then I won't pick it."

"Jing Qi, Ah Jin, you got up so early." Baili Zonglu's voice appeared in the ears of the two of them.

Huo Mingzhu bowed to him, and the silly prince also bowed to him as a junior, Baili Zonglu then said: "Is it possible that Ah Jin is not used to sleeping outside?"

"No, I just want to hunt today, and I can't sleep because of excitement."

"Haha, that's how it is. The front is ready and you can leave immediately. Just now, the king saw many hares scurrying out. I think this hunting will be very rewarding. Ah Jin, I have seen red foxes before. If today If you can hunt, I will take the fox fur to make you a cloak." Baili Zonglu's appearance, as always, maintained an ambiguous attitude towards Huo Mingzhu, but it was more intimacy than ambiguity.

Huo Mingzhu was not as usual, according to him thousands of miles away, Baili Zonglu never lost his smile on his face.However, the smile of the silly prince next to him disappeared, Huo Mingzhu just pretended not to see it.

When everyone is ready, everyone sits on their own horses, even Sulu is assigned a horse, looking left and right excitedly on the horse, waiting for the shouts in the forest, the sound of the gong As soon as the sound sounded, the sound of horseshoes on this side also sounded in response.

Huo Mingzhu yelled coquettishly, and the man and the horse flew out like a cunning rabbit: "Drive!"

Baili Zonglu yelled from the side: "Okay, Ah Jin made this king look at me with admiration again."

Huo Mingzhu smiled back at Baili Zonglu, that smile was brighter than the sun in the sky, which made Baili Zonglu shine for a moment.

Huo Huaiyu looked at the interaction between the two people with a look of jealousy, and lashed the horse with a whip: "Drive." She must be better than that bitch Huo Mingzhu, isn't it just riding a horse, and she too Yes, she is the lady of the General's Mansion, as the daughter of the General's Mansion, how can she not know how to ride a horse.

"Unexpectedly, all the young ladies of the Huo family are very skilled. This king is lucky today." Baili Zonglu looked up on the galloping horse as if on the ground, and laughed freely and generously, making Huo Huaiyu look like a star. Heart beating wildly.

Huo Mingzhu didn't pay attention to what Baili Zonglu said, the bow and arrow in her hand had been drawn to the full moon, and the target she was about to shoot was the running snow-white rabbit.

"Whoosh!"

The running rabbit stopped in an instant, its snow-white fur was dyed red, the nearby soldiers quickly ran over, picked up the rabbit and said: "Miss Huo has hunted a rabbit."

"Ah Jin, that's amazing." Baili Jingqi hurried behind, and when he came over, he saw that Huo Mingzhu had already shot a rabbit, and his eyes were dyed sparkling with joy, as if It was the one he shot.

Huo Mingzhu ignored it, and saw two rabbits running side by side, so she took two arrows, put them on the bow and arrow at the same time, and pulled Man Yuexuan at the same time.

"Ajin, could it be that you can kill two birds with one stone." Baili Zonglu shouted behind him.

"Whizzing!"

Two arrows hit a rabbit respectively, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?

"Ah Jin, you really surprised me." Baili Zonglu praised Huo Mingzhu from the bottom of his heart at this moment. The corner was also shot by the pair of arrows.

"Miss Huo killed two birds with one stone, and shot two rabbits." The soldier shouted loudly, as if everyone in the hunting ground could hear it.

Huo Huaiyu hates that bitch, Huo Mingzhu, as long as she is there, others can't see her Huo Huaiyu, they didn't see that her riding skills are also excellent, that rabbit was shot to death by Huo Mingzhu, she also shot what.Huo Mingzhu would really steal the show.

Thinking about it this way, he was pumping fiercely at the horse. Compared with Huo Mingzhu, it was the first thing, and venting his anger was the second.

The horse started galloping in pain. The faster it ran, the faster it ran, and the direction it was running was not the same as that of Huo Mingzhu and others. When Huo Huaiyu realized it, he wanted to pull the rein, but he couldn't. That horse!
Horses are out of control!

This shock was no small matter, and he immediately screamed!That shrill scream attracted the attention of everyone in the paddock, Huo Mingzhu smiled inwardly, it's time to think about it.

On his face, there was a look of worry, he pulled the rein, and when Baili Zonglu came up from behind, he hurriedly said: "The voice sounds like my sister's, but I don't know what happened to her at this moment, my lord Hurry up, Mingzhu is worried that something will happen to her sister."

The horse galloped so fast, Huo Huaiyu had already been separated from them, only Baili Jingqi, who was chasing Huo Mingzhu wholeheartedly, was not thrown off. As for Baili Zonglu, his riding skills were excellent Yes, it is not difficult to catch up with Huo Mingzhu.

"Ah Jin, don't worry, Second Miss Huo is also very good at riding. The horses you two ride are the most docile, so nothing dangerous will happen." Baili Zonglu said to Huo Huaiyu He didn't really care, but the other party was Huo Mingzhu's younger sister, so he spoke comforting words, and he didn't care about her comfort at all in his heart.

"I hope so." As he said that, an extremely worried look appeared on his face.

"Miss, the second lady's horse is heading that way, I'm watching." At this moment, Su Yu was panting and driving the horse over, before she arrived, she pointed to another road.

"Sulu, stay here and don't come, my lord, Mingzhu has to go to find her sister before she can rest assured." Huo Mingzhu frowned, as if she was a sister who was worried about her sister's comfort.

Baili Zonglu nodded: "This king will go with you."

The two chased in the direction Su Yu pointed at.

Besides Huo Huaiyu's side, the horse seemed to be crazy, even if Huo Huaiyu tried his best, he couldn't make it stop, this is still a small road, if the horse got into the woods...

Thinking of this, Huo Huaiyu began to cry. She was really scared at the moment, and she couldn't understand why Huo Mingzhu's horse was fine, but hers went crazy. She had already replaced Huo Mingzhu's horse. Son, as long as the horse is having fun, it will go crazy uncontrollably!

"Wuuuuuuu Mother, Yu'er is so scared."

Seeing that there is no road ahead, and the horse is still running uncontrollably, Huo Huaiyu's despair is deep, and his hatred for Huo Mingzhu is even deeper. If she really died, she would not let her go if she was a ghost Huo Mingzhu's.

Yes, Huo Mingzhu must have made a move.

The horse may have been running crazily for so long, and its speed has slowed down a bit, but the river is ahead, Huo Huaiyu saw that the horse was about to jump into the river, but there was nothing he could do.

When Huo Mingzhu and Baili Zonglu chased after the horse's hooves, the horse had already foamed at the mouth and died on the river, and Huo Huaiyu's body was climbing in front of a tree that grew into the river at this moment. The look of struggling to come up, obviously did not faint.

Huo Mingzhu sneered, she was really tenacious, she thought Huo Huaiyu was going to die this time, she could guess how fast the horse was galloping by looking at the hoof marks.

Since he didn't die, the play was done enough, so he shouted: "Yu'er, are you okay, Yu'er?"

"Wuuu... my lord, I'm in pain and scared." Huo Huaiyu didn't call her Huo Mingzhu, but Baili Zonglu who was standing beside her.

Huo Mingzhu looked at the flowing river, the water was not deep, so she asked Baili Zonglu anxiously, "My lord, Mingzhu is weak, I'm afraid I can't rescue Yu'er safely."

"Ah Jin, don't worry, this king will help you save Second Miss Huo." After finishing speaking, she went down the river.

When Baili Zonglu fished Huo Huaiyu up, he found that her leg was broken and her body was seriously bruised. After the accompanying imperial doctor examined her, she said that there were only skin injuries and she would be fine after a period of recuperation, but Huo Huaiyu The hand that has been holding Baili Zonglu cried out for pain.

Because of this incident, the hunting could not continue, so the group had to go back home.
