Chapter 50: In danger! Kill the wolf

"Your Highness Prince Ding'an." Lu Qiaoxiao bowed lightly.

"The woman that Chang Jue likes is truly extraordinary. In such a short time, Miss Lu has already hunted so many wild animals."

Lu Qiaoxiao laughed and said, "It's just a hobby. How can it compare to the unparalleled bravery of His Royal Highness Prince Ding'an?"

Although she did not ask Shen Yuheng for confirmation, she vaguely guessed that Shen Yuheng was hiding beside Wei Yan in disguise.

Wait for the opportunity to act.

As Shen Yuheng's future wife, she naturally could not disrupt the situation he had worked so hard to build.

Wei Yan was very pleased to hear such words. He laughed heartily and said, "Just play with peace of mind today. I hope you can achieve good results and receive a reward from the emperor. Changjue will be happy, and so will I."

In Wei Yan's opinion, after Lu Qiaoxiao got married, she and Shen Yuheng were already one.

If Lu Qiaoxiao himself could also get a position, it would only benefit him.

Just as he was speaking, a sharp whistle was heard from not far away.

Lu Qiaoxiao frowned and made a gesture to keep quiet. She became nervous, as the sound seemed to come from a wild beast.

Wei Yan's heart was also beating fast. They hadn't even reached the depths of the forest yet, so how could such large animals come here?

He was planning to win a good luck today, but he wasn't going to fight the beast himself! Wouldn't the wild game hunted by the servants be delicious?

There was a strange sound in the grass in the southeast direction. They both looked and found a pair of dark green eyes.

Why are there wolves before we reach the depths of the jungle?

"Your Highness, I will shoot its left eye first, and you find a chance to shoot its leg." Lu Qiaoxiao had cold sweat on his forehead, but he still gave orders calmly.

Wei Yanren sat on the horse, but felt his legs a little weak. He had been lazy for a long time and had not practiced archery. He was so rusty that he didn't believe he could hit the target.

"three."

Lu Qiaoxiao counted silently in his mind. The wolf knew at a glance that they had been hungry for many days and wanted to eat them as a meal.

"two."

Now the wolf was approaching them step by step, and she had already drawn the bowstring and taken aim.

There is only one chance.

"Your Highness, get ready." Lu Qiaoxiao glanced at the trembling Wei Yan. He raised the bow tremblingly and put an arrow on the thin string, but his fingers were a little unsteady.

"one."

An arrow flew through the air with great force and hit the wolf's left eye.

At this moment, the enraged beast roared and pounced on the two of them—

"Your Highness, hurry!" Lu Qiaoxiao squeezed his horse's belly, turned his head quickly, retreated, and prepared to shoot another arrow.

Wei Yan closed his eyes and decided to fight to the death, and shot an arrow in his hand at high speed.

Unexpectedly, Wei Yan was torn to pieces. He opened his eyes and saw that the wolf's right leg was shot.

He was indeed gifted. Wei Yan did not forget to praise himself secretly. Then he heard Lu Qiaoxiao's roar in his ears: "Your Highness, change your sword!"

Seeing a fast figure flash by, Lu Qiaoxiao rode his horse and held a long sword to block in front of Wei Yan, but he spoke in another direction.

Wei Yan followed her gaze and saw a pale blue figure leaping onto a horse, holding a bow in his right hand, and riding towards him.

It was actually Wei Ran.

Lu Qiaoxiao jumped off his horse and stabbed the wolf's other eye with his sword.

Wei Yan was holding his breath, because Wei Ran had shot his arrow first.

But he did not dare to delay any longer, so he immediately took his knife, jumped off his horse and started fighting with the wolf.

Lu Qiaoxiao was still confused. How could a wolf that had been hungry for several days still be so ferocious even though it was so badly injured?

Perhaps it was because his blade was too sharp that the wolf went completely crazy.

When Wei Yan saw the blind beast pouncing towards him, his hand holding the knife suddenly went limp. He closed his eyes in pain and despair, but did not feel the pain he had expected.

There was a muffled groan in front of him, followed by the sound of a long sword cutting through the wild wolf's flesh.

Wei Ran fell straight into his arms, his right arm bleeding profusely, and the long sword in Lu Qiaoxiao's hand was covered in blood. The lone wolf finally fell to the ground.

Lu Qiaoxiao squatted down and looked at Wei Ran's wound, frowning as he said, "Your Highness Prince Ding'an, the Fifth Prince is seriously injured. We must get out quickly, otherwise his right hand might be crippled."

She saw the gaping wound and her eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn't think about it at the moment.

Wei Yan breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear, refocused his eyes, and nodded.

After lifting Wei Ran onto the horse, Lu Qiaoxiao walked towards the wolf's corpse.

"What are you doing?" Wei Yan was shocked by her action. This girl is really brave. Is she thinking of using her prey to compete for the first prize at this time?

Lu Qiaoxiao glanced sideways, his tone slightly cold: "Your Highness, what happened today might have been done intentionally. This wolf shouldn't be here."

"Or take him back. Your Majesty, please make the decision."

Wei Yan then realized that this was not the deep jungle, and such a ferocious beast should not appear there.

Besides, wolves usually travel in groups, so the sudden appearance of a lone wolf is very strange.

——

Shen Yuheng was toasting with everyone at the table, but his mind was not on the meal.

Wei Junming noticed that Prime Minister Chen was absent-minded, so he joked, "Although Changjue is at the table, his heart is not in it. I'm afraid his heart has flown away with the girl from the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion!"

By the way, Wei Junming had met Lu Qiaoxiao once before.

That time, Lu Qiaoxiao was carrying a ripe watermelon as he passed through the imperial garden. Wei Junming saw it and thought it was interesting, but he just stepped forward and asked a few questions.

The girl was very honest. She broke the big round watermelon in half with her bare hands and gave him the red core.

It is rare for her to be able to respect the king while retaining her original sincerity.

It's still much less troublesome than the two concubines' daughters in the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion.

Speaking of this, he gets a headache.

Concubine Li wanted to marry the second and third daughters of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion to Wei Yan. How could this make sense?

Although Lu Yong is timid and afraid of things, he will definitely consider such matters carefully.

Wei Mingzhu carefully poured him more wine, "Father, don't worry."

My daughter's voice was soft, gentle and kind.

Wei Junming looked at Wei Mingzhu in surprise, feeling a sense of guilt.

When Concubine Xi had a difficult delivery, he was obstructed by Concubine Li and others and never conducted a thorough investigation, which led to his daughter becoming estranged from him.

Originally - originally he had higher expectations for Mingzhu.

But it's not too late now.

"Mingzhu, it's been a long time since you played chess with me. When you return to the palace the day after tomorrow, can you come to the Yangxin Palace to play a few games with me?" Wei Junming's eyes were full of anticipation, and his tone was cautious as if he was afraid of being rejected.

Wei Mingzhu nodded seemingly obediently.

Wasn't she coming back this time just to fight and grab things? This naturally included her father's favor.

Wei Mingzhu took a sip of the sweet wine, and suddenly a maid came up and whispered something to her.

She half-closed her eyes, and her gaze unconsciously glanced in the direction where Shen Yuheng was sitting, with the corners of her lips slightly raised.

interesting.
