Chapter 38 Capture
“Roar~”
Everyone ran around, and the black bear began to attack indiscriminately. Anyone who got close to it would be greeted by the bear's claws. The black bear unknowingly approached Wen Chengming.
"Lie down and pretend to be dead!"
Wen Liyu saw it and was anxious. When she encountered the bear, the first thing she thought of was to pretend to be dead, thinking that black bears would not attack dead things.
"No! Cheng Ming, stare at him and slowly back away..."
Cheng Weiyao immediately retorted that bears are very curious and would scratch someone pretending to be dead. How many people can endure the scratches of a bear's 8-centimeter sharp claws?
Moreover, if you pretend to be dead and resist because of the unbearable pain, it will only provoke the bear to attack more violently.
At the critical moment, Wen Chengyun lightly tapped his toes, his figure flashed, and in a breath he had picked up Wen Chengming.
However, the black bear would not allow the prey in its mouth to be snatched away. It roared angrily, stared with its big eyes and clawed at the prey.
Cheng Weiyao's heart instantly rose to her throat. Even though Wen Chengyun was a martial artist, it would be difficult for him to face the savage and uncommunicative black bear, right?
"Cheng Yun, don't bother with that blind bear. Just hold Cheng Ming and come back!"
The imperial concubine was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She subconsciously walked forward. Cheng Weiyao saw that this was unacceptable and immediately pulled the imperial concubine back.
"Don't worry, mother. I know what's going on. This bear is already angry and can't be calmed down easily..."
Wen Chengyun took advantage of the opportunity to dodge and placed Wen Chengming safely in a safe area, while he began to attract the hatred of the black bear.
"Ayu, Chengming is in your hands. Please take good care of Chengming and mother."
Wen Liyu hurried over and brought Wen Chengming back to the Imperial Concubine. Cheng Weiyao saw that most of the people in the Prince Qingping's Mansion had escaped danger, so she immediately planned to go and help.
"Husband, can you lead him away..."
Rather than letting the black bear harm innocent people on the road, it would be better to lure it away and deal with it separately. Cheng Weiyao glanced at the scattered crowd and set her sights on the woods behind.
"Can."
Wen Chengyun led the black bear all the way to the woods. Several times, the bear's paws whistled past his ears, and Cheng Weiyao was frightened when she saw it.
However, after failing several times, she soon realized that this was a provocative move by Wen Chengyun. If it were let out, he would definitely be the main tank in the team, kite-moving and full of hatred.
"Husband, hit its bear nose!"
Cheng Weiyao has been observing the black bear's weaknesses. The bear has thick skin and flesh all over its body, and the relatively vulnerable part is its nose.
But the nose is on the bear's face, and apart from the lethality of the bear's claws, there are also sharp canine teeth, so it is not easy to succeed in a blow.
Wen Chengyun tried to get close several times, but was forced to dodge the attack by the black bear's slap. Cheng Weiyao frowned and a long knife was handed to her.
"Lord Officer?"
Cheng Weiyao squinted her eyes at Wang Gang, somewhat puzzled. How could this leading official be so kind? She always felt that the weasel's New Year greetings to the chickens were not good intentions.
"I'm not trying to help you, but this blind bear has injured quite a few of my brothers. Since Prince Qingping is so capable, I must make the best use of him..."
Wang Gang's words were half true and half false. The main reason was that he didn't want Wen Chengyun to die at the hands of the black bear. If the war of attrition went on for too long, humans would definitely not be able to outlast the bear.
He still had to settle the score with Wen Chengyun, so how could he let an animal get away with nothing?
After receiving the long knife thrown by Cheng Weiyao, Wen Chengyun gradually gained the upper hand. A critical hit on the handle of the knife made the black bear roar angrily and prepare to escape.
In terms of seeking benefits and avoiding situations, there is no difference between humans and beasts. When Wen Chengyun saw the black bear wanted to run away, he hesitated for a moment and then chased after it, intending to eliminate the trouble in the future.
There is still a mountain road to go. If the black bear attacks again, there will be more casualties.
Seeing that there was hope of capturing the bear, Cheng Weiyao immediately organized several nearby women to twist hemp ropes. Black bears are big creatures, and they wouldn't just abandon them after capturing them. They are full of treasures...
"Madam, go and tie it up. It's already packed."
Wen Chengyun had already killed the black bear and was walking towards Cheng Weiyao with a long sword in his hand. The hem of his white clothes was splashed with blood, and the blade of the long sword he was holding was dripping blood onto the ground. He looked like a god of death.
"My husband has worked hard."
Cheng Weiyao smiled, took the long knife from Wen Chengyun's hand and planned to return it to Wang Gang. She deliberately returned the bloody knife.
"Thank you for your help, officer."
She didn't know whose orders Wang Gang followed to target the Prince of Qingping's Mansion all the way, but she knew that blindly spending money to please him would only help the evil. This was a good opportunity to make a show of force.
“You’re welcome…”
Wang Gang smiled on his face, but he was actually full of fear in his heart. Wen Chengyun's appearance of not even breathing showed that he was very skilled in martial arts, and Cheng Weiyao was a scheming and cunning person, so he sensed the warning he was trying to give.
As soon as the black bear's danger was resolved, the officers and soldiers who had been hiding behind the woods and shivering rushed to Wang Gang. Some of them were injured and some were disabled, and now they were jealous when they saw the black bear's body.
"Brother, you're not planning to let the Qingping Palace get away with it so easily, are you? Our brothers were badly injured by that blind bear..."
"I think Prince Qingping did it on purpose. He could have taken action himself, but he chose to wait until everyone was in a mess before stepping forward. He just wanted to be a hero, didn't he?"
Chen Er and Li Kui's voices were not loud, and the people who were returning to the road one after another could hear them clearly. Although most of them knew the etiquette, there were some who were inevitably provoked by the officials' few words.
"Both of you, keep your voices down! Didn't you see the murderous look on Prince Qingping's face? He just escaped from danger. Don't cause trouble for me..."
Wang Gang noticed Cheng Weiyao's gaze, clenched his fist and coughed lightly, asking the officers to behave themselves.
Cheng Weiyao raised her eyebrows. She thought Wang Gang would come over and ask for the black bear, but she didn't expect the sun to rise from the west. Has this guy changed his personality?
The black bear had just been tied up, and before anyone could be ordered to lift it up, a fat county magistrate bumped into Cheng Weiyao and ran towards Wang Gang.
"Thank you for your hard work, my dear officer. It's not easy for you to come all the way from the capital. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I'm sorry for not welcoming you!"
The fat county magistrate shook Wang Gang's hand and asked him about his well-being. He had originally taken the county constables to the official road to wait, but when no one showed up, he went up the mountain road with a try-it attitude. Unexpectedly, the exile team he had been waiting for was right before his eyes!
"You are so polite, my Lord County Magistrate. Thank you for your hard work in coming to greet me."
Wang Gang withdrew his hand with a dark face. He was obviously not impressed by the enthusiasm. What's more, the county magistrate's hands were covered in sweat and were very sticky.
