It was fate's cruel trick: a modern female mercenary who died of anger actually transmigrated into the body of an ancient female assassin who died from overeating!
To establish herself in...
Chapter 165 Her man is a handsome guy
Shen Yue cursed loudly and thought she could take a break, but the black bear twisted its neck, the whip immediately deformed, and the tree trunk as thick as her thigh was broken with a "crack".
It doesn’t matter if the trunk is broken, but Shen Yue is still on the treetop!
She was dizzy and thrown out.
In a trance, she felt a sudden warmth on her waist.
Xiao Yuheng appeared out of nowhere, hugged the person, and landed him steadily on the ground.
"You thought of this in broad daylight?"
Before Shen Yue could react to what Xiao Yuheng was referring to, he had already flashed in front of Lu Jinan, snatched the sword from his hand, and flew to the top of the tree.
Suddenly a strong wind blew in the woods.
The surrounding moisture and the blood on the ground had somehow been suspended in the air and quickly solidified into several pink ice blades.
The ice blades spun and pierced into the black bear's eyes, neck, and back at incredible speed...
“Roar—roar—”
The black bear covered his eyeballs where blood was splattering and screamed miserably.
Next second.
A cold and violent gust of air came from directly above my head.
Xiao Yuheng, holding a long sword, stood upside down and fell from the sky.
The sword tip, wrapped in a thousand pounds of internal strength, accurately penetrated the vertical lines between the black bear's eyebrows.
The moment the sword penetrated, the black bear suddenly stopped roaring, and its waving claws hovered in the air.
The next second, he fell to the ground with a loud bang.
The huge body stirred up snow dust all over the sky, and along with the wind, it fell under the corner of Xiao Yuheng's robe.
Xiao Yuheng stood opposite Shen Yue, like a god descending from heaven.
There was a drop of blood on the humming sword, which flowed down the edge and disappeared into the grass.
Shen Yue was almost bleeding from her nose!
"Wow! Hengheng!"
She ran over excitedly, hooked her arms around his neck, and jumped up.
"Hengheng is so handsome, so handsome!"
Xiao Yuheng dropped his sword, raised his hand to support her knee, and laughed uncontrollably:
"Ayue was also very handsome when he cracked the whip just now, but next time you are not allowed to be so impulsive, understand?"
"Hmmmm!"
Shen Yue was still immersed in the joy of "her man is a handsome guy", and she didn't hear what he said clearly, and just kept saying "hmmmm".
Lu Jinan, who was standing aside, was excited, scared, and excited. It took him a long time to react before he stepped forward and kowtowed.
"Thank you both for saving my life!"
When Xiao Yuheng heard him talking, he realized that there was someone else next to him and quickly put Shen Yue down.
"Mr. Lu, you are too kind."
At this time, other people in the hunting ground also rushed over after hearing the noise, and were all surprised to see the big black bear on the ground.
"Not to mention the hunting grounds of the imperial palace, even in the Jingxi Royal Hunting Ground, there have been no black bears. What's going on?"
"I heard that this autumn hunt was organized by the Crown Prince. Looks like I have to ask him."
After listening to what everyone said, Shen Yue looked at Xiao Yuheng and immediately understood.
They hadn't seen the prince since they entered the dense forest. He must have already taken a detour and left.
There are wolves and bears. It seems that he had planned to turn the hunting ground into everyone's grave.
However, facing these two living devils, Xiao Yuheng and Shen Yue, he was destined to be disappointed.
Xiao Yuheng came to the black bear's body, took off the whip, and then ordered people to carry the body away.
Looking at the broken whip, Shen Yue felt very sorry.
"It's a pity that such a beautiful whip was torn by a black bear."
"Why don't we just make another one?" Xiao Yuheng consoled her with a smile. "How about using this bear's thick hide?"
"Hurrah!"
On the way back, Shen Yue learned that Xiao Yuheng had hunted a deer, two white foxes, two wild geese and several rabbits.
Including the big black bear just now, although the number is not as many as Shen Yue’s, the quality is many times better than hers.
Xiao Yuheng coaxed her with a smile, saying that he hunted the deer to roast the venison for her, and hunted the fox to save it to make her a scarf for the winter. He also said that she had killed so many wolves and dozens of people, and was much more powerful than him.
After hearing this, Shen Yue smiled a little.
When they walked out of the hunting ground, Xiao Ye was sitting proudly on a bench with countless prey in front of him.
He had prepared these prey in advance.
The medicine he took could allow him to walk normally for a short period of time, but hunting was absolutely impossible for him.
Seeing that everyone returned unharmed and brought back a bear, his face turned visibly black and green, and then green and white.
How is it possible... How is it possible that no one died!
Emperor Qi Yuan had been lying in his bedroom with Cao Songyi in his arms for most of the day. Now he reluctantly changed his clothes and came out to greet her with his ministers.
When he saw the black bear's corpse, he was obviously surprised, and his squinting eyes widened a lot.
"What's going on?"
Before anyone else could say anything, Lu Jinan knelt down first.
"Your Majesty, I was nearly killed by a black bear in the forest just now. It was Prince Cheng and his guards who killed the bear and saved my life!"
These words were spoken not only to Emperor Qi Yuan, but also to his father Lu Zhengyan, and even more so to all the ministers present.
Historically, royal hunting has been a disguised test for the princes.
Xiao Yuheng was just over twenty years old. In terms of literary strategy, he was able to divert water from the south to the north and save the people from floods; in terms of military strategy, he single-handedly killed a black bear. No other military officer in the court, not even Emperor Qi Yuan at that time, possessed such ability.
Being saved by Xiao Yuheng, Lu Jinan had no way to repay him, so he could only do his best to speak well of him in front of everyone.
In fact, it is not a compliment, what he said is all true.
Sure enough, when everyone heard this, they all looked at Xiao Yuheng with admiration, especially Lu Zhengyan, who felt as if he had seen the next emperor.
That was a look Xiao Ye had never received before.
As a result, his expression became more colorful.
"Seventeen, did you really kill him?" asked Emperor Qi Yuan.
"Your Majesty, it was indeed me and my guards who did this. However, I'm confused as to why a black bear appeared in this small hunting ground. If the Crown Prince had someone let it in, he should have made it known in advance."
"That's right." Everyone echoed, "You didn't tell me in advance, isn't this intentional harm?"
Xiao Ye forced a smile and knelt before Emperor Qi Yuan. "Father, this bear belongs to the Northern Chu Extreme Cold Land. I wanted to release it to the hunting grounds to entertain everyone, but... I forgot to tell you in advance."
Emperor Qi Yuan sighed and rolled his eyes at him, "This won't happen again."
"yes."
The matter was just over. Lu Zhengyan was obviously a little dissatisfied, but when he saw that no one else said anything, he did not say anything else.
Emperor Qi Yuan began to check with a smile what prey everyone had caught. Xiao Ye immediately pulled his father over and started showing off.
Xiao Yuheng was not interested in these things and took Shen Yue back to Tingfeng Courtyard.
Jiang Rou was sitting in the yard like a scoundrel, drinking tea and admiring flowers with the little girls. When she saw the two men coming back covered in blood, her face turned pale with fright.
"My two little ancestors, are you okay?"
The shadow guards also anxiously checked him up and down, "Your Highness, is the director injured? Why are his clothes torn?"
"No problem."
Xiao Yuheng took out the sachet from Shen Yue's arms and threw it on the stone table. "Please ask Mom and Si Jin to take a look at what's inside."
After saying that, he led Shen Yue back to the room.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"
"Change your clothes, and check if you are injured."
