Empress Fenghua

Chapter 31 The Crisis in the Forest
Hua Zhong's complexion was pale, and with the blue riding and shooting outfit after the rain, he looked even paler.

Duan Huixian saw that Hua Zhong's complexion was not good, so she teased and said, "What's wrong with Hua Zhong? Could it be that I saw my eldest sister has a home last night, and I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep at night?"

Gu Shuangcheng said angrily, "Huixian! Don't talk nonsense." He was afraid of making Hua seriously sad.

Hua Zhong forced a smile, "Huixian, don't make fun of me! You'll have to show off in a while."

"For His Royal Highness and Miss Ning's affairs, the emperor rushed over overnight. On the surface, he was participating in today's hunting, but in fact, he came to suppress the scene and clean up the mess? With the emperor present, even if I have peerless martial arts, I can't surpass it." Your Highness! It's so boring!" Duan Huixian complained.

Hua Zhong and Gu Shuangcheng looked at each other and smiled, "You! Do your best."

I saw that a big tent was set up in the distance, and I didn't see Emperor Cheng, the empress and others.In the distance, Hua Zhong saw Princess Xinyang galloping on a horse in a bright red dress, and everyone got on the horse too.Princess Xinyang swung her whip and shouted loudly, "The emperor has a decree! The one who hunts the most today will be rewarded! I hope you all will show your talents and show me the power of the country!"

Everyone cheered and scattered into the forest.

Hua Zhong watched Princess Xinyang ride in, and the two looked at each other.There was a string of sparks in his eyes.

Hua Zhong smiled slightly, "The princess has lost a lot of weight overnight, and she looks a little haggard. My daughter-in-law advises Her Highness not to think too hard and plan too much, so as not to hurt others or herself."

The corners of Xinyang Yanhong's mouth twitched, and she forced a smile, "Miss San is overthinking! This is the time when the spring breeze is in full swing, so Miss San will not be able to win against Ben Gong today."

"The princess is proud of her spring breeze, and she occupies a high position for a while, but it is inevitable that she will be careless, and there will be times when she climbs and falls." Hua Zhong frowned, swept to the hidden place in the surrounding forest, and reminded, "Princess, please think twice!"

Xinyang squinted his phoenix eyes, and a cold light came out, "Miss San is not too concerned about it!"

Hua Zhong rode his horse close to Princess Xinyang, and said in a low voice, "If the princess wants to avenge her son-in-law, it may not be the best choice to directly assassinate Emperor Cheng. If she wants to help His Highness the Ninth Prince seize the throne, this is not the best time. It will trap His Highness the Ninth Prince in infidelity and unrighteousness, making loved ones hurt, and enemies quick!"

"What if this palace is imperative?" Xinyang threatened.

Hua Zhong evoked a smile, "If the princess wants His Royal Highness to 'rely on the sky to shine on the sea', His Royal Highness must also have a clear mind like 'high mountains and flowing water'. I will definitely appreciate your affection!"

"You!" Princess Xinyang frowned and looked at Hua Zhong, "You know?"

Hua Zhong shook her head, and said solemnly, "My daughter doesn't know anything. As long as the princess always puts His Royal Highness's interests first, my daughter would rather not know about it in her life. My daughter just wants the princess to understand that sometimes death It is the best relief. It may be the same for Prince Consort Changfeng! It is also the same for Emperor Cheng! Therefore, if the princess wants to take revenge, why not help His Highness the Ninth Prince seize the throne to vent her anger!"

Princess Xinyang looked at the tent in the distance, "That's right! Let him die now, it's cheaper for him!" Looking sideways at Hua Zhong, "Do you like Your Highness the Ninth Prince?"

"Princess misunderstood!" Hua Zhong smiled helplessly, "I can't tell the fate between my daughter and His Highness the Ninth Highness. My daughter owes His Highness Ninth Her Majesty all her life. But I will spend all night planning schemes to repay my life without raising my eyebrows."

"Okay!" Princess Xinyang looked sincerely, "No matter what happened before, if the third lady is loyal to His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, Xinyang will definitely be regarded as a confidant. Third lady, the forest is dangerous, take care of each other!" After finishing speaking, Princess Xinyang rode the horse leave.

Hua Zhong looked at Princess Xinyang's back, and thousands of thoughts came to his mind. He was a poor person who planned this far for Yongjia!

The trees in the forest are sparse, covering the sky and the sun.Hua Zhong rode his horse into the depths of the forest, the surroundings were very quiet, Hua Zhong frowned, and carefully searched the surroundings.

Suddenly, a sharp feather arrow whizzed over.Hua Zhong hurriedly leaned over on the horse's back, the feathered arrow went straight into the tree trunk behind him, trembling.The steed below seemed to be frightened, neighing uneasy.Hua Zhong tried his best to appease the steed, if he dismounted at this moment, there would be no chance of survival!
There was the rustling of grass in the forest, Hua Zhong listened attentively, there were too many people coming, I'm afraid she wasn't the only one nearby.Another feathered arrow passed by, Hua Zhong jumped up from the horse, turned around and spun to avoid the sharp arrow, and sat on the horse again.Hua Chong narrowed his eyes, and a man in black came out from the grass. The sharp knife in his hand was shining coldly, which was reflected in Hua Chong's eyes.

"Your Excellency, is Ning Huazhong?" The man in black lowered his voice so that no one could tell.

Hua Chong raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and shook her head lightly, "So what? Don't you want to kill me?"

The man in black narrowed his eyes, "The girl is right! Are you Ning Huazhong now? I'm going to kill you. Please don't blame me, girl."

"Of course, this account can't be settled by Xiongtai, but whether Xiongtai has the ability to kill me depends on God's will!" Hua Zhong drew a bright soft sword from his waist. Snake, glowing with a biting cold light.There is a pattern of snowflakes on the hilt, which is light and delicate, and is most suitable for women.Thinking of Xue Wuhen giving this sword to himself for self-defense last night, he couldn't help smiling.Didn't expect to use it so soon!
A trace of tension appeared in the eyes of the man in black, "Drizzle Sword!"

No matter what Hua Chong's martial arts are, as long as the Drizzle Sword is released, it can make people frightened!What Xue Wuhen said was really good.Drizzle sword kills without trace, without blood, which is Xue Wuhen's style.

Hua Chongfei fought with the man in black. Although the man in black had great martial arts skills, he was clumsy with sharp knives and light with soft swords.Coupled with Hua Zhong's unexpected moves, the man in black was helpless for a while, and he was reluctant to deal with it.Hua Zhong twisted her wrist, and the Drizzle Sword was wrapped around the sharp knife of the man in black. The man in black struggled, with horror in his eyes.Hua Zhong smiled slightly, and quickly withdrew and spun around. The soft sword made a whistling sound, and it was cold under the dim light in the forest.The man in black behind him clutched his neck and fell to the ground in pain.

"Third Miss! Third Miss!" Ouyang Feiyan's voice came from a distance.

Hua Chongfei got on the horse, quickly hid the Xiaoyu sword back to his waist, pretended to be afraid and shouted, "I'm here!"

Ouyang Feiyan pushed aside the bushes, saw Hua Zhong's eyes lit up, "So Miss San is here! Let me find it easily, there is danger in the forest, please come out of the forest with me quickly!"

"How do you know I'm here? How do you know there's danger in the forest?" Hua Zhong asked directly.

"It was His Highness Ninth who asked me to come. Young Master Xue is being entangled and unable to escape. His Highness Ninth is also in critical condition, so I can only come forward." Ouyang Feiyan quickly explained the whole story, and saw the man in black who had fallen to the side , "Third Miss killed?"

Hua Zhong shook his head, "Someone helped me. Where are His Highness Jiu and Young Master Xue now?"

"In the deep forest and mountain depression!" Ouyang Feiyan didn't ask any more.

"Take me there!" Hua Zhong said sternly.

Ouyang Feiyan stared at Hua Zhong, with some doubts in her eyes, she said firmly for a moment, "I will go with Miss San!" Then she got on her horse and rode away carefully in the forest.

There are corpses and dried blood that have invaded the soil along the way, and there are men in black and guards among them.Hua Zhong couldn't help frowning, thinking of Princess Xinyang's words: The forest is dangerous!It turns out that Princess Xinyang already knew what happened today, so why did she want to enter the forest?Even if you can't get into the tiger's lair, how can you get a tiger's cub, wouldn't you put your life in danger if you don't make careful arrangements like this?

Among them, what kind of effect does Princess Xinyang want to achieve?The more Huazhong walks, the more confused her heart becomes...

"Miss San, this is right here!" Ouyang Feiyan pointed to the place where the corpses lay in front of her, "But there is no one here, and the corpses of His Highness Ninth Prince and Young Master Xue have not been found. Could it be that they were chased elsewhere?"

Hua Zhong frowned as he looked at the criss-crossed corpses lying on the ground. Suddenly, the sun shone, and there was a spot of light.Hua Zhong fixed his eyes to identify it carefully, and quickly got off his horse and ran.

"It's a snowy night!" Hua Zhong picked up the shiny jade pendant on the ground, anxious in his heart, "This is Xue Wuhen's thing, if there is no accident, it will definitely not be lost!"

Ouyang Feiyan frowned and said, "Miss San, please calm down! Young Master Xue is superb in martial arts, don't say that these men in black are incomparable, even the other four sages may not be his opponents. It must have been left unintentionally, or left a message !"

When Hua Zhongjing was reminded by Ouyang Feiyan, his heart suddenly brightened, and he looked at the place where he picked up the jade pendant. The corpse had a strange shape, as if it was pointing the way!
Hua Zhongwu said, "It's a cliff!" Xue Wuhen must have discovered something special, so he used this as a secret code!
Hua Zhongfei got on his horse, shouted loudly and galloped towards the cliff...
